its definitely good for competition, but given how greedy the AFL is, it will more than likely canabilise the broadcasting by splitting up different games by day, platform, etc. 

We can be thankful there is at least one broadcaster showing every single game in the AFL season.

I don't like it. 

 

As much as I dislike Foxtel/kayo, most of it is in one place. 

I am frustrated that rugby union is now on Stan, meaning I can't watch it without another subscription. 

Splitting it further will mean I watch less of these sports.

i can't see any international streaming service having significant interest in a small domestic competition like the afl or nrl

Might be a cheaper way around local content laws.

I hear you. I got a Stan subscription to watch Melbourne Rebels matches this season. Also have Optus for soccer (Euro 2024 and Everton in the EPL). It is not cheap. Honestly, would love a pay per view system where I can just pay per match I would like to watch.

Hope we never go down that route, seems like a logical nightmare for football(soccer) fans  in the uk.

Miss the simple days of Foxtel though, now sport so fractured and everywhere for soccer.

Apple - MLS

Paramount - A-league

Optus - Premier League and Spanish League, Euros

Stan - Champions league, Europa league, Europa conference league

bein - Copa America, championship, SPL, serie a, bundesliga.

I hear you, but if it’s Netflix which most people already have, it means saving $30 a month on Kayo which I’m all for.

If the mega streamers come in they will try and buy rights to one game. Friday would be their preference or Thursday if Friday is not available.

The issue is that Kayo would scream blue murder and threaten to substantially reduce its bid. Kayo (Foxtel) already pays the lions share of the rights money for a rather raw deal.

Can't see it as the cost of providing a standalone broadcast and commentary team for one match for a six month period would make the deal highly unattractive.

Then again Kayo could team up with the mega streamer delivering kayo a lower rights price for the gamble that the loss of one game to the mega streamer will not impact its overall subs.

Frankly as WSW mentions I cannot see a mega streamer being interested in a one off deal in a small market. For them it just doesn't scale and would take up more management time than its worth (unless kayo presented them with a complete package wrapped in a nice bow.)

Also need to remember that the mega streamers are hemorrhaging money and are not so ready to buy market share as they were a few years back.

Well of course not. I assume you’ll have to pay extra but I doubt it’ll be as expensive as Kayo is, if you’re already paying for Netflix. 

I only use Kayo for footy. The minute our season is over I cancel my subscription. Whereas I always have a Netflix account so I prefer to pay an extra for access to football, than to have another stand alone subscription.

Amazon Prime has the exclusive Australian rights to the upcoming T20 Cricket World Cup in USA.

A different value proposition to AFL but it does demonstrate that the mega streamers will go into the Sports market.

Sky Sports has the UK rights and Willow TV (a specialist cricket streamer) has the US rights. Disney has the non TV rights for India with Star TV holding the TV rights

This year I have got Kayo to work reasonably. A wise person told me to update my Google Chrome and now it works without the spin of death. Picture quality is not as good as 7, but that is a small price for no Brian.

On this point surely Kayo should have a setting that allows you to at least mute commentary from broadcasts while retaining the other sounds. In this digital age it shouldn't be difficult and would make watching matches so much more enjoyable.

Last year I was watching Celtic in the Scottish FA Cup final. For the first half the commentary feed failed but the crowd noise came through.

It was bliss

I get to see all  the goals on Utube sometimes just minutes after the match.

I watch via the app on my Apple TV.  Rarely an issue. If there is, its a router issue.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
