NBL Television ratings on Foxtel

Foxtel's churn rate has increased but their subscriber numbers are steady at just under 3 million. The declining thing is indeed a myth at this point anyway.

You should hear how Foxtel call center workers are when given any suggestion that I might shrink my package or end the service!

I can't really see Foxtel being a 'thing' in 10-15 years. But my problem with streaming sites is you never seem to get that true HD quality picture.

I would say probably 80% of the people I know that had foxtel 12 months ago, do not have foxtel now myself included.

Believe it or not, the "Foxtel dying" is a myth.

It's been reported a few times in the media lately, that subscriptions are actually increasing well.

Don't believe their spin, they're losing subscribers at a rate of knots and have been recently fudging their figures by including everyone that has ever signed up to a free Presto trial deal as a 'Foxtel subscriber'.

Presto was a huge failure and the Seven Network ripped all their funding out of it recently so Foxtel are closing it down.

Foxtel were already losing a lot of subscribers, even if you didn't know the figures look at all the free installation, no contract, price reduction stuff they've been doing over the last year or two.

Netflix just hastened their demise and losing the rights to the Premier League soccer to Optus just means they won't last much longer.

Hawks not doing a good job at hiding it #601418

First sentence of the match report on hawks.com.au - 3,247

Looked, felt and sounded bigger than that. Didn't seem to be many empty seats on either side. There's more corporate boxes this year which has removed about 7 rows of seating at the curtain end.

Also, many people are dropping Foxtel and going for online subscriptions like Stan and Netflix. This means that 35 and 20K this year is much better than the same numbers in the preceding years.

Foxtel is dying and the NBL is very smart to already transition to online. They just need to improve and perfect the streaming service now.

Regarding crowds in Brisbane, 90% or more of the games in the Convention Centre will sold out, with the game on Sunday plus next weeks getting very close to being gone. Hopefully this can help push up viewing number on Fox. But like ME said above, Fox Sports viewing number may have become somewhat irrelevant at this stage of the NBL's development.

Aussie, those figures are around the average for last season I think. I am not sure that the Fox Sports viewership matters anymore though. NBL.TV, SBS, and the Chinese numbers probably have a bigger weighing on the financial health of the league.

If united don't fire their crowds will drop off sharply.

There is no loyalty to the United brand. Most of the hardcore tigers folks are long gone.

The Hawkes look like being a great team to watch this season. There stadium is fairly small so they really should be selling out their venue evey week.

Sydney and Melbourne looked over hyped. They'll need to play a more attractive style of game and live up to the hype to make fans come back and bring their friends.
