Stan Sport retains Indycar broadcast rights in Australia.
The organisation said it will begin an “orderly wind-up of its operations” and that the majority of its staff positions will end at the close of its fiscal year on September 30, 2025.
The CPB said it will retain a small team until January 2026 that will be tasked with ensuring its operations are wound down in an orderly manner.
The death of the world continues
Given the Keith / CBS&Paramount / Taylor Sheridan connection whether we’ll see this new series down under.
As of 8:30am in NY, the new ESPN app has gone live with the new DTC service and several other enhancements.
Monthly pricing details are as follows (all AUD):
- $18.67 for the Select plan, which is whatever ESPN+ has
- $46.70 for the Unlimited plan
- $56.03 for bundling with Disney+ and Hulu (currently $46.70 until Aug 2026)
- $62.26 for bundling with Fox One or NFL+
- $70.04 for bundling with ad-free Disney+ and Hulu
Yesterday, it was also announced that the ESPN+ game between Houston and Seattle will be bumped up to ESPN, therefore ensuring ESPN’s entire MNF slate is accessible on linear.
More on all the festivities, if you want to call it that, here:
Sorry for confusion. The currency usage was for easier understanding. (Although Fox One should have been a clue.)
And another note: ESPN (via its company, quote DIS) will ring the NYSE opening bell at 11:30pm AEST.
Meanwhile in the MLB world, ESPN is set to lose their overpriced (justifiable) package of Sunday night, HR Derby and several Wild Card matchups. So they will get MLB.TV instead. (He later clarified that the deal is “not yet finalized”, though, so watch this space.)

What does this mean for AU/NZ viewers? Let’s just say, more… interesting mix of US feeds?
ESPN2 U.S. is carrying the “Stars of the Open” exhibition event, but with two catches.
- ESPN is not involved in the production of this broadcast, it’s fully world feed (It’s OK if they don’t feel this is worth a separate production)
- The logo bug is not showing “Live”, even though everything being shown is, indeed, live (Fixed about 8:06PM ET)
Quick note on the NBC feed right now, which is carrying the Arsenal-Leeds contest in EPL.
It is commentary-free and shows no message indicating that is an error.
So if you want a change…
Oddly, there appears to be audio going somewhere, as the closed captions are still running (at least via KVOA Tucson), with the commentary for this game. Wonder why they haven’t decided to give up and just pick up the Golf early.
Commentary resumed at 42:36 game time.
Sure? I have Tucson, NY, and LA, and the sound is still not back on any of them as of 45:00.
I’m watching the NY feed (WNBC) and it appears that the audio feed resumption was very temporary.
I swear that there was some 2:30 that there were commentators coming through.
Doesn’t help that Arsenal has scored goal #2. The fact that there is no error message is very telling.
God, it has a real “Zoom mute” vibe, hasn’t it?
I have heard no comms at all since I tuned in just after you posted the first time, unless it came back while I was flicking feeds. Oddly, CC has been transcribing the correct sound the whole time. A lot of people will be happy though.
Edit: As expected, ads are working fine.
NO STUDIO SOUND EITHER! (Working captions still, though) Something has happened at 30 Rock.
Edit: everything except the mics seem to be working.
