Reading that article, I find this bit rather concerning:
So…there is a ad-free Stan Sport tier available or will we be paying for ads. Because Stan Sport is not worth the money.
KEVIN COSTNER’S THE WEST PROVIDES A FRESH LOOK AT THE SWEEPING HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN WEST
PREMIERES MAY 28, ONLY ON STAN.
Stan today announced Kevin Costner’s The West, an eight-part documentary series, hosted and executive produced by Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner and executive produced by Pulitzer Prize®winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, will premiere with a triple episode from May 28, only on Stan.
Transcending the clichés of the ‘Wild West’, each one-hour episode will capture multiple perspectives on the stories that defined an era and continue to shape America today.
Kevin Costner on the set - Kevin Costner’s The West
Kevin Costner’s The West takes viewers on an epic journey through the birth of the American West, examining the relentless competition for land, power, and identity that forged America’s history. With legends born from figures such as Lewis and Clark and Sacagawea, to the clashes between lawmen and outlaws, the rise of cowboys and ranchers, the resilience of trailblazing women, and the fervor of fortune seekers and abolitionists, this series spans a century of pivotal events. By presenting these stories from diverse perspectives, the series illuminates both the indelible contributions of the pioneers who shaped the dream of the American West and the courageous resistance of Native American tribes who valiantly defended their ancestral land.

The series highlights pivotal battles and iconic figures, from Chief Little Turtle’s decisive victory over the U.S. Army, sparking General “Mad” Anthony Wayne’s counteroffensive and the inexorable push westward, to the tenacious stands of the Blackfeet, Comanche, and Lakota Sioux tribes and by warriors like Red Cloud and Crazy Horse, as well as the storied vigilante Joaquin Murrieta. Blending powerful historical archive, striking visuals and insightful expert interviews with globally recognised historians, each episode highlights a crucial and often tragic chapter in the rich tapestry of the West.
Kevin Costner’s The West is produced for The HISTORY Channel™ by RadicalMedia in association with Territory Pictures, Pastimes Productions and APX Content Ventures. Kevin Costner, Rod Lake and Howard Kaplan serve as executive producers for Territory Pictures. Dave Sirulnick, Meredith Bennett, Jon Kamen and David Rivera serve as executive producers for RadicalMedia. Doris Kearns Goodwin and Beth Laski serve as executive producers for Pastimes Productions. Eric Levin, Allie Dvorin and John Turner serve as executive producers for APX Content Ventures. Eli Lehrer, Mary Donahue, and Jennifer Wagman serve as executive producers for The HISTORY Channel. A+E Networks holds worldwide distribution rights to Kevin Costner’s The West.
Kevin Costner’s The West premieres with a triple episode from May 28, followed by new episodes every Tuesday, only on Stan.

So Stan will have shown two music awards in the first half of 2025: Grammy Awards and American Music Awards. Is the platform looking to acquire rights to more award ceremonies?
Well, since FTA and Pay TV don’t want them any more, I’d say most will end up on streaming services.
Don’t forget, the ARIAS were live on Stan and only an edited version was shown on 9 later that night. It could later only be streamed on Stan.
Just an assumption. But I think ads will be just like they are on Fox Sports. No ads during play, but ads pregame, postgame and at halftime.
Currently, when Nine usually goes to ads during simulcast rugby games not during play, Stan will usually have extra analysis. I think this will now end
Some of these are Prime Video Originals, which is interesting.

INSPIRED BY MARIAN KEYES’ GLOBALLY BESTSELLING NOVELS, COMEDY DRAMA SERIES THE WALSH SISTERS TO PREMIERE EXCLUSIVELY ON STAN
As Marian Keyes tours Australia, Stan acquires exclusive rights to The Walsh Sisters, starring Louisa Harland, Caroline Menton and Hollywood’s Aidan Quinn.
L-R: Caroline Menton (Rachel), Danielle Galligan (Claire), Stefanie Preissner (Maggie), Máiréad Tyers (Helen), Louisa Harland (Anna). Credit: James Pierce.
Inspired by Marian Keyes’ best-selling novels, Stan has acquired the exclusive rights to the six-episode comedy drama series The Walsh Sisters.
Directed by Ian Fitzgibbon (Hullraisers, Moone Boy), the returnable drama series features the chaotic, dysfunctional but deeply loveable Walsh family of five sisters, a devout mother and a bemused father.
Set in their Dublin hometown, The Walsh Sisters follows the lives of Anna, Rachel, Maggie, Claire and Helen as they navigate the peaks and troughs of their late 20s and 30s. This is a sisterhood full of in-jokes, hand-me-down resentments and more than a few old wounds. But their DNA, history and shared love of power ballads keep the Walsh sisters together in the face of heartbreak, grief, addiction and parenthood.
Stan Chief Content Officer Cailah Scobie said: “Marian Keyes’ books are adored all over the world, and we’re delighted to partner with RTÉ, BBC and Cineflix Rights as we bring The Walsh Sisters to Australian audiences. With Ian Fitzgibbon at the helm, alongside such a talented cast, we’re confident the series will capture Marian’s sharp wit and her heartwarming characters that have captivated readers for decades, and we look forward to introducing her storytelling to a whole new audience through this adaptation.”
Greg Johnson, EVP, Americas and Asia Pacific, Cineflix Rights said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Stan to bring The Walsh Sisters to Australian fans. Marian’s novels have millions of readers all over the world and we’re looking forward to more deals shortly as we roll the series out internationally to buyers.”
Marian Keyes added: “I’m so thrilled that The Walsh Sisters will air on Stan in Australia! Australian readers have always been huge supporters of my novels, in particular those about the Walsh Sisters and there’s such a treat in store for you! It’s impossible to overstate how thrilled I am with this production. Stefanie Preissner’s scripts alchemised the vibe of my novels into a new and compelling thing. And the cast! Individually and collectively the five young women playing the sisters astonished me. Each separately embodies the characters in my head, right down to tiny aspects of their body language; collectively their chemistry is magnificent - their warm, bickery engagement feels just like a family. The rest of the cast is equally tremendous - Mammy and Daddy Walsh are beautiful together.
“This probably sounds like a strange thing to say but even if I wasn’t involved in this, I’d be dying to see it. I’m so grateful to all the individuals who worked so hard to make this beautiful series and I’m very excited for Australian viewers to see the finished product.”
Headlining the cast is Louisa Harland (Derry Girls) as the troubled Anna Walsh. She is joined by rising talent Caroline Menton (Oddity) taking on the role of party-girl sister Rachel and Danielle Galligan (House of Guinness) brings oldest sister Claire to life. BAFTA-nominated Máiréad Tyers (Extraordinary) plays the fearless baby of the family, Helen, with the final Walsh sister interpreted by multi-hyphenate stage, screen and screenwriting talent Stefanie Preissner (Solpadeine is My Boyfriend), who plays family ‘white sheep’ Maggie.
In addition to appearing on screen as Maggie, Preissner led the writing team with four episodes of The Walsh Sisters, while award-winning writer Kefi Chadwick (Rivals) completes the team with two episodes.
Adding Hollywood stardust to the line-up is Irish American actor Aidan Quinn (Michael Collins), whose most recent project is Oscar-winning director Neil Jordan’s film adaptation of his novel The Well of Saint Nobody. Quinn plays put-upon Jack ‘Daddy’ Walsh alongside Carrie Crowley (An Cailín Ciúin), who recreates eccentric Mammy Walsh. American actress and personality Debi Mazar (Batman Forever) will play Chaquie. Other cast members include Gina Moxley who will play Josephine (The Patient Gloria) and Jay Duffy (Wheel of Time) who will play Rachel’s complicated love interest Luke.
Author Marian Keyes
The series revolves around characters from Marian Keyes’ novels, including Rachel’s Holiday and Anybody Out There. One of the most successful Irish novelists of all time, Marian’s many accolades include five Irish Book Awards and being named Author of the Year at the prestigious British Book Awards in 2022. Since her first novel was published in 1995, more than 39 million copies of Keyes’ books have been sold around the world, translated into 36 languages. Marian Keyes is currently touring Australia, with events in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Busselton, Margaret River, Hobart and Adelaide.
The Walsh Sisters is adapted by Stefanie Preissner (Solpadeine is My Boyfriend, Can’t Cope, Won’t Cope), with Kefi Chadwick (Rivals, Death in Paradise) writing two episodes. It is directed by Ian Fitzgibbon (Hullraisers, Moone Boy), and the producer is Patrick O’Donoghue (The Tourist, Brooklyn, The Wonder). It is produced by Cuba Pictures and Metropolitan Pictures for RTÉ in association with the BBC, Screen Ireland and Cineflix Rights. The executive producers are Dixie Linder and Nick Marston for Cuba Pictures, David McLoughlin for Metropolitan Pictures, David Crean Dermot Horan for RTÉ, James Durie and Tom Misselbrook for Cineflix Rights, Stefanie Preissner, Marian Keyes, and Tony Baines. Cineflix Rights is the exclusive worldwide distribution partner.
New series The Walsh Sisters will premiere exclusively on Stan.

COOPER RAIFF, LILI REINHART AND MARK RUFFALO STAR IN THE HEARTWARMING DRAMEDY SERIES HAL & HARPER
PREMIERING JUNE 26, ONLY ON STAN
Stan today announced the dramedy series Hal & Harper, starring Cooper Raiff (Cha Cha Real Smooth) who also serves as creator and executive producer, Lili Reinhart (Riverdale) and multi-award winning actor Mark Ruffalo (Avengers: Endgame) will premiere June 26, only on Stan.
Hal & Harper are codependent siblings (played by Raiff and Reinhart) doing their best to navigate long-term relationships, friendships, and situationships. When their dad (played by Ruffalo) makes a big announcement, the two are forced to consider the current state of their lives and their complicated childhood.
Hal & Harper centres on this relatable yet dysfunctional trio and presents two siblings whose co-dependency they view as a unique strength rather than a hindrance. Their deep connection is built on a lifetime of inside jokes and hardship, while delving into past trauma through flashbacks featuring Raiff and Reinhart as their younger selves. Hal & Harper charts the family’s evolution and discovery of how their intense bond has influenced their relationships with those they love, for better or worse.
Cooper Raiff, Mark Ruffalo, Betty Gilpin and Lili Reinhart
Hal & Harper also stars Betty Gilpin (The Hunt), Addison Timlin (Blackout), Havana Rose Liu (Mystery Girl) and Alyah Chanelle Scott (The Sex Lives of College Girls).
Known for his feature Shithouse and the Sundance Audience Award-winning coming-of-age rom-com Cha Cha Real Smooth, Raiff debuted his series of Hal & Harper at this year’s Sundance Film Festival to great acclaim.
Cooper Raiff directs Betty Gilpin and Mark Ruffalo
“I was thinking of kids growing up too fast and that is where the idea of the show came from. The family’s childhood house is on the market and they go back in time to deal with the pain the house holds. To get unstuck and heal. I hope people who watch the show can find a similar sense of healing,” said Raiff.
Hal & Harper is produced by Thomas Hartmann and Bad Bangs LLC, executive produced by Cooper Raiff, Lili Reinhart, Addison Timlin, Clementine Quittner and Daniel Lewis and is distributed worldwide by Lionsgate.
New series Hal & Harper premieres June 26 on Stan, all episodes at once and only on Stan.

New Film
Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage stars in the psychological thriller The Surfer.
When a man returns to Australia to buy back his family home after many years in the U.S., he is humiliated in front of his teenage son by a group of local surfers who claim ownership over the secluded beach of his childhood. Wounded, he defies them and remains at the beach, demanding acceptance. As the conflict escalates, he is brought right to the edge of his sanity and his entire identity is thrown into question.
Written by Thomas Martin and directed by Lorcan Finnegan, The Surfer is an intensely unnerving feature film shot in a single location in Yallingup in Western Australia.

REVEALED - JOH: THE LAST KING OF QUEENSLAND
June 22
New Documentary
A feature-length documentary about divisive leader, conservative icon and former Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen, Joh: Last King of Queensland is a timely examination of progress, power, corruption, and Joh’s complex legacy.
By November 1987, Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen had led the Sunshine State for 19 tumultuous years. Hugely popular, he presided over enormous growth – but corruption raged under his tenure, as did electoral manipulation and often violent suppression of dissent. He ran Australia’s fastest growing state with an iron fist for almost twenty years until a seminal work of investigative journalism and subsequent Royal Commission unravelled a vast web of corruption. Locking himself in his office, Bjelke-Petersen refused to face his party, the Parliament or the press.
