More NBL in the media

KK launched NBL.TV (owned by NBL) as a direct revenue stream for the league and an attractive proposition to sponsors.

This removes them the interests of the commercial networks who have no stake in showing highlights.

Ten's coverage of mainstream sports limits its ability bar couple of clips.

Also a 2-3 of years ago AAP stopped sending journos to most games. As such you get a few lines the next day probably gleaned from a phone call.

I didn't misunderstand Bear's point. I just think the issue is more nuanced than his first post outlined.

The more we post the less likely it seems that the set of circumstances needed for this to take place are realistic (owner who is passionate for sport AND decent amount of exposure in all media AND popularity in capital cities)

It almost requires a 'Perfect Storm' scenario for it to work. Well, the opposite of a perfect storm. A Perfect Calm?

is there any issue around cross-channel news sharing?

in other words, if Ch 7 wants to show basketball and ch 10 has the rights, does ch 7 need to pay mega-bucks to get the footage?

^ yes, but if they put basketball in the media more, it would make more money.

@Bear You know what billionaires like more than the sports you mentioned?
Money.
That's why they're billionaires.

If they thought basketball would get them ratings and make them money they'd have it on their networks 24 hours a day!

but there has to be a decent fan base for NBL, at least enough for it to be on the news

As long as sports reporting is dominated by a "boys' club" who played football and who are always hob-nobbing with the football power-brokers, basketball doesn't stand much of a chance.

Any wrap up of finals won so far from Statman?

It would be interesting to see which club has gone up, which has gone down, etc.
