Brett Phillips is hosting tonight. He said that Todd Woodbridge is flying over to cover the Laver Cup. Do Nine/Stan have the rights for this tournament, or is he there for the world feed?

He’s done commentary for the world feed in the past. Laver Cup is partly run by TA.

I like him as a host and commentator he does a good job.

Brett also commentates various sports for SEN. Mostly AFL but also the occasional tennis event when he’s not busy with Nine.

Nine on the verge of renewing. Let’s hope so so they have air it exclusively. They’ve done a good job over the last rights cycle.
Next will be cricket in negotiations.

Has anyone other then Nine and Seven expressed interest in the rights?

I do not think so, but Ten/Paramount I think would want Cricket. For Foxtel who partners with Seven I do not think they can get the rights if Seven pulls out of the Cricket race, as Nine and Ten would probably partner with Stan/Paramount+ respectively, unless it is a deal where sport is simulcast on Nine/9Now/Foxtel/Kayo/Stan Sport etc, which I doubt Foxtel would like. Speaking of the tennis deal, it is expected to be 100 million a year, a BIG increase on the last which was 60 million.
What about the Olympics? Most countries around the world have gotten rights (counting Dentsu in Asia/Eurosport in Europe etc.) except for us, some remote Oceania countries and Russia. Surely an announcement is coming soon.

As expected. They should get the Davis Cup/BJK Cup exclusively. Their coverage this year was second to none with all Grand Slams on FTA for the first time ever.

Olympics will most probably be on 7 again but Nine will be good

A big windfall for Nine and a $40mil increase when they snatched the rights from 7 in 2018 from 2019-2024.

And Seven are probably paying well overs for the AFL…
