$46 a month is a massive 50% price rise.

For a sports service that only has four "big" sports three of which are non exclusive (AFL, NRL and cricket) that's a big ask. F1 is exclusive but given its time zones is it really that big.

I always knew Foxtel/Kayo was a loss leader for Rupert but what worries me is that a back of the envelope calculation shows that even at $46 per month with everyone staying for 12 months it's still a loss operation.

Next stop... ban password sharing and bring on more ads.

DAZN are cashing in

It does my head in because the only sport I watch on Kayo is AFL, yet it is by far my most expensive streaming service.

They are certainly reducing the operating loss but it will be a painful road to profitability.

We're simply too small a market for ever increasing sports rights fees

I’m probably not quite as anti Kayo as some on here. For $450 I got MFC membership, MFCW membership and Kayo for a year. Reckon that probably works out for Kayo at $25p/mth. That is expensive compared to other steaming services but still just doable particularly considering I’d get it no matter what (I live interstate)

Is that the 4k service FND?

I wonder what the story is with these club deals. I assume Kayo think these people would have gone after 6 months and therefore they are giving 12 months for the price of 8. If you assume the club gets say $25 for the referral it's a bigger subsidy.

IMO Kayo need another killer sport such as EPL

password sharing banning is inevitable and that's when i think it'll be interesting to see what decision people make about how important 'seeing' the footy on tv actually is

we might be going back to the 90s where if you didn't go to the game, radio was yr best bet

no ads siren-to-siren is one of their major marketing callouts that you'd think they would be reluctant to lose

$45.99 a month, so from start of March to the end of August that is $275.94.
Digital Membership is now $375 for the year. Only really worth it if you want to watch F1 from September to December.

Really need to pick another sport up, good thing theyve seemingly retained F1 for a little longer.

It is premium which is apparently 4K

I used to keep Kayo running all year, now I am being selective and just subscribing during footy season and even cancelling when going on a mid-year break to Europe (and subscribe to the AFL's pricey overseas platform when abroad).

Part February and October gives 8 months of footy for around $400 value then Cricket, Basketball and Golf for me over the summer. Normally around $600 so good value plus 2 free general admission games on mine. THE BITES AND MINIS ARE GOOD when you don't want to watch it all
