Lack of FTA coverage - a perception about Hoops?

NBA is uneconomic to broadcast in Australia because lots of people watch it - the NBA can and do make real money out of its subscription service. It will only broadcast on Free to Air for fair value.

NFL on the other hand has maybe a tenth (or less) of the interest levels of NBA, and therefore the broadcast rights are dirt cheap. NFL make no real money out of it but have an interest in it being shown on Free to Air to raise interest levels in Australia (like the NBA did 30 years ago).

Guys, things would have to go wrong with some other sports for NBL to ever come to dominate prime time again.

The fact that Jarred Hayne a former NRL star is playing in the NFL and this is the reason 7mate is airing those games makes this a poor example to begin your argument @Cute Man.
