The Lions & Colts broadcast, actually at 3am in each timezone, is a replay from last weekend. 7mateâs only Thanksgiving game is Raiders @ Chiefs on Saturday. This game is an Amazon Prime broadcast. So far ESPN has been showing the Prime feed so itâs been unclear if the NFL are producing a world feed version of their games or notâŚit will be interesting to see what feed Seven get.

Seven open to NRL and A-Leagues as it builds digital sports arsenal
When asked if Seven would look at an opportunity to bring other big Australian sporting codes on board, such as the NRL or A-Leagues competitions, Roberts responded: âYeah, 100%.â

youâd be mad to rule it out, especially if negations are not open

Ah yes, but you see, 7 lacks a paid platform and Foxtel will want a massive deal of it if 7 get it.

During the Melbourne vs 36ers bench/crowd melee converge it was reported that the NBLâs CEO was entertaining 7âs Head of Network Sport Chris Jones (and his âyoung familyâ) during that game as the NBL looks for a longer term TV deal. So Iâd expect the NBL to be on the table as well (if things go right).
Also heard rumours that he was the one that was leaking the racist remarks that set it off to the media. Iâd hope that doesnât play into it.

You would think Seven will want full rights to the NBL - every match of the regular season and every finals match.
Live NBL is ideal during February and early March when there is not much live sport on FTA.

Iâd love that but I can see scheduling conflicts with cricket and AFLW earlier on. Maybe a Saturday night slot which expands later on (even if it is just for the finals, which would be 10-14 games). WNBL finals are also scheduled around that time at least this year, assuming theyâre part of the same TV deal with the NBL investing in that league.
Showing local team games in local markets would be great as well, 7 would be in the best position to do that (since theyâve bought Prime, for Illawarra and Cairns, 7 Tasmania would add to it) but might not make sense for 7 to have break out programming like that.

7 needs sports after 9 has done a full raid of all their sports as of late, and could lose supercars as well.
Especially donât want to lose out to 10.

Having lost the Olympics, I would like to think that Seven should bid for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and with no AFL on Saturday nights in Melbourne it could conceivably air on the main channel on the eastern seaboard at the very least.
Seven have televised the last two editions (Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022), with the former in particular attracting plenty of good ratings.

But you see, what about the nightly blast of AFL shows that will not interest a fair chunk of the eastern seaboard

Strange, the organisers revealed back in September that a twilight meeting would be held on January 4. The first race would run at approximately 2.10pm QLD time, with the last race at 7.50pm.

If the last race is at 7:50pm QLD time, then it would be 8:50pm AEDT, meaning that there would be 2 hours of prime time racing on the east coast, 90 minutes in SA, and one hour in QLD.
