A league media deal thread

[FFC Mariner]

It makes it imperative for AL to get away from P+ and get on the new bandwagon. Thats why private equity is circling the game here. All they need is the right media deal.
The audience is already signed up to Kayo and/or Optus.

Two big codes potentially won’t get as much money? Yeah real national interest stuff right there. Won’t somebody please think of the wealthy media moguls?

Also, they arent big codes anywhere other than here (arguably only 2 states for NRL)
Imagine going to a US investor and telling them that there is an audience of about 10m people for NRL.

I get Optus Sports free through my internet. I doubt I would ever pay for it just for EPL.

I let go of Kayo when they lost beIN. Now I just pay for beIN and am far better off financially. Paramount I only keep because of A-League and will let go of that when the deal finishes. I have watched what I needed to watch on Paramount that isn’t football.

For our household, personally, Binge is by far the best streaming app we have in terms of content and entertainment.

I'm the same. Optus is part of my internet.

I just had paramount run out. Unless they send me another 60% discount offer like last year I won't be signing back up.

I swing between streaming services based on who sends me a cheapo offer.

Currently britboxing for $10 for 3 months. When it's done I will drop off.

You can see what the NRL is trying to do with their efforts in the US. No idea if it will fly or not but if they can carve out some niche it’ll get them some extra coin.
