Paramount + Ten Bid for Broadcast Rights

[Mr T.]

This could be interesting, a move from Foxtel finally?

I love that Gil is going over to meet bidders... 'Bidders: we'll come to you to present' and in reality 'Gil: Not to worry I'll be there on the first flight I need one last junket!'

The lot: Ten and Paramount AFL broadcast bid will be for everything

Network Ten and their streaming partner Paramount Plus are making a joint bid for the entire AFL broadcasting package from the end of 2024.

Depending on how much the streaming service offered by Paramount is, I'd be in favour of a change up of broadcasting away from 7 and Foxtel.

I'm certainly not going to sign up to Foxtel with their outdated pricing model throwing in 90% garbage content just to get the sport content, but think Kayo is overpriced for what you get as well.

Wonder if Ten will bring back the idea hiding the exact time remaining after 20 kins had passed? I can't remember what they called it but it was always gripping not knowing exactly how long there was to go.

I live 2 hours from Melbourne and some of the internet in my town is horrific and unable to consistently stream data. There is no better connection available to me which is the cause of a lot of frustration so I pay for foxtel for this reason.

If they were to move to this it would personally be a disaster for my ability to watch us each week.

I’d doubt I’m on my own so I hope they consider us.
