I think that Foxtel could do the same thing with Moto GP and probably will for 2018.The current Supercars deal is different and I think they are required to keep 6 events on FTA.The next deal might look very different.The media changes that went through parliament a few weeks ago pretty much gutted the anti siphoning list and I think that not even Bathurst is now exempt.Supercars will have the option to move to pay alongside their own streaming offering and leave FTA entirely.This is a distinct possibility although they might be tempted to sell Bathurst as a once off to FTA.I have been posting here for years that the future for all sports is pay + streaming as FTA no longer have the money to make a competitive rights bid.
In the short term this is Laclan getting his revenge for not getting ownership of 10.Poetic justice that the final decision came down to the staff as unsecured creditors and they voted near unanimously to go with CBS rather than any Murdoch. |

I assume Channel 10 will keep showing the monday night highlights on ONE?
Does this mean AJ is out of a job? I don't think Foxtel provided 10 a feed for the F1, Foxtel takes the complete SKY Sports UK coverage with their graphics, presnters and all, while Channel 10 takes the Channel 4 UK coverage & commentary |

The Monday highlights will continue.One thought I have had is "what's in this for Liberty?".They would have had to approve this change in the contract.Possibly when they start rolling out their own F1 streaming platform next year in markets where the Tv contract allows it Australia will be able to get access to this under the new contract.

Given supercars is a national category, with national sponsors, I'm sure the teams, category sponsors and state governments who foot the bill for the races will put a bit of pressure on Supercars Management to keep the current arrangement, otherwise they'd all be loosing a fair bit of return on their advertising investment.

Can any way possible Ten might drop some of the big Supercar events, which I sincerely hope they don't.

Losing the live F1 races is a definite pain in the posterior, tempered by several options for live streams.
There hasn't been a live stream of Supercar for a while now |

Ten has changed their wording in press releases about Supercars. First it was biggest V8 Supercar events (including Clipsal 500 and Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000).
Now they say that their line-up includes the Supercars Championship, including Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. Am I reading too much into it. |

Not assuming that at all. You suggested that they Liberty would have had to approve of a change to the contract, I've simply suggested that the contract may not have changed other than Foxtel has withdrawn its permission for 10 to broadcast live F1 races as well and that as a result, there was nothing that Liberty could approve or not but no doubt they would have been informed (if reasonably business practice was followed)

Inside Australia. OS subscribers have been enjoying the supercar web streaming this year - approx $30 per season. Gets rave reviews.
F1 10/Foxtel - I believe 10 sold/gifted the rights to the SKY feed to Foxtel to help cut their costs and future obligations and then paid for the lesser CH4 feed. Will be interesting to see what Liberty have to say but since the highlights package will continue (for now) they might not care too much (for now.) Was interesting with Liberty's move to bring FTA races to France in the build up to the French GP next year. |

Would 7 or 9 be interested in this same part time arrangement, taking footage straight from the Supercars/Foxtel feed though as TEN were? |

Interestingly Ten have dumped Channel 4 commentary team and have just used Fox Sports commentary team (aka Sky Sports) for the Formula 1 highlight coverage last night.

They probably haven't paid Channel 4 either.I think the dumping worked the other way when it became apparent the CBS weren't going to pay the $20mill arrears they owed on the contract.Whatever F1 is on FTA is strictly a charity job.
