If Bruce hosts any of it worse.

If it's just foxtel coverage on 7 like the A-League on 10 then we are stuffed too

I think foxtel is failed business model based on 80s technology when we are now approaching 2020s I think any sport woman's , men's etc that is broadcast on this model will suffer significantly

Should of sold the lot to Optus Sports like Premier League if they wanted to shake things up

Can't see 7 and Foxtel improving coverage on what c10 and c9 already had

I think we will get a reduced access to cricket and that will hurt in a rebuilding phase
 
Anything to hopefully get rid of Mark Nicolas from my screen is a good thing by me. Geez I hope fox don’t sign him up.
 
I think it will be irrelevant who commentates because Cricket Australia have followed the ARU down the path towards the pit of despair and Sutherland should resign for negotiating this. I have no confidence that this will be in the best interest of Cricket especially at a time it needs to rebuild credibility. BBL will become super rugby and the Australian Cricket team from being the number one marketing team in country will be walking backwards like the Wallabies before them.

I enjoy watching BJ and AB working together on FOX.

I think AB is the grey hair FOX was referring to.

Interesting to read that Fox and 7 are paying 250 million a year on this when 9 was paying 80 million and 10 was only around 20 million, 9 now paying 60 million for tennis which is massive for tennis as 7 had only paid 40 million tennis

Channel 9 apparently only made a profit when they had Ashes which they have the next Ashes series still as it's in England and Antisyphoning

So if 9 couldn't make a profit and Fox only have less than a 10th of the viewers available even if they get 25% increase in viewers it looks like 9 will get rights back next time around for a fraction of what they had it because 7 and fox will be broke
 
The way they were talking in the press conference, you will be able to watch tests on 7 or fox and both will have different commentators, so you get a choice.
One dayers will move to Foxtel by the sound of it - which is a loss.
I suspect a lot of big bash will move to Foxtel too.
Foxtel will have a 100% cricket channel.
Womens cricket will get a lot of free to air time.
Foxtel are also saying they will stream most content, so I assume you will be able to buy content game by game or bundles for devices.
 
I read on Fox Sports this morning that cricket matches will be uninterrupted and add-free on their network.

It will be great to watch games without adds between overs.
