I wasn't paying attention on FC but I thought I heard Caro saying something about Nine losing the NRL streaming rights or being prepared to give them up in this bid? Someone else may know more. 

Correct. They lose part in the same year 2025

As many have mentioned it's interesting that the media auction was all about money and to a lesser extent coverage. There was nothing about broadcast quality and growing the audience.

A little cute of the AFL to insist that these matters are solely up to broadcasters.

They also failed to address the role of platforms such as youtube and Instagram. A European soccer player hit 100M subscribers this week. It's very big money

Dangerfield and Bailey Smith make huge amounts of $ from sponsors for their instagram followers.

As do any number of 'influencer' AFL partners.

Not sure the AFL can do much about these supplementary but essentially private arrangements.

Interesting

The standard player contract has always had rules about use of player images etc so you would think it has been updated over the years.

Often wondered " Guessing the contract will not allow it" why Channel seven do not use 7mate as a 24 hour Footy station. back to back replays with front bar or other footy shows to fill it out. Maybe Pawn Stars and American Picker just rate to highly.

I think it was 10 that had a 24 hour Sports channel years ago. It was quite good but 10 went broke and got bought out by CBS.

Not sure that Ch 7 have unlimited replay rights.

These days people want to have historical shows on demand so it would be more like Kayo
