Next NBL TV Deal

Channel 7 already do the 7 main/ 7Mate state differentiation for AFL. 7Mate shows on northern (nominally NRL) states, with 7main in southern states.

Obviously the technical capacity is there for this to happen. Is there the demand? Hence my guess that WA will see it first.

Sounds about right. Games on GO need to rate higher to make 9 main channel.

What we might see is home town/ home state games being on 9 main.

As much as all us eastern seaboard era would hate to admit, Perth/WA would probably be the first experiment on 9 main channel (only time zone differences might be a sticking point) when the Wildcats are playing away.

I think LK is right. There is a lot of potential in the NBL if a FTA station is prepared to promote it right. Hell there is a lot more potential in the NBL for Foxtel if they would actually promote it right too.

are you implying that a sport on a major FTA channel rates better than a sport on Foxtel? OMG NFW!

I doubt a free online platform without reasonable market reach (i.e twitter) will be a reasonable prospect. It works for the hardcore fans (hence Overtime) but to try and grow an audience based on one social media outlet and a FTA deal showing 1-2 games on a digital multichannel would be madness.

This is LK strengthening his position in the market (deservedly so) but they'll still end up back on Fox Sports/Kayo, no one else is likely to give them the volume of HD coverage space needed.

I believe more needs to be on FTA and unless im mistaken, this cant happen til the 9 deal expires, right? Alternatively could a free online platform (e.g. twitter) take the space of fox?
