Yes, she did mention on the Fox League launch that she will miss the 1st Sunday Ticket, and Yvonne Sampson will be filling in for her, as she will be in Adelaide for the V8's

It's kind of weird that they would give Yates a major role on a newly launched channel, yet have her missing from the opening weekend of that role. |

Interesting to see that the NRL has increased its FTA content for the rest of the year, with an extra FTA game each week being shown on Ch9 now

Yet the "third most popular sport in Australia" doesn't get the same sort of flexibility

Major difference is that the NRL (and AFL for that matter) have a significant proportion of their TV content on FTA weekly. In between a sporadic calendar and occasional FTA highlights broadcasts, the category is struggling to attract sponsors. The PayTV deal was a quick term solution to teams bleeding at the time, but now it's having an adverse effect. That's from Brad Jones mouth, not mine.

Wheer as Supercars is on FTA tv everytime it is on, either in full live or 1 hour highlights package. I dont doubt what Brad Jones is aying, But 3 teams handed there licence in under the previous fTa deal, Wheer as under the pay deal we now have an extra team |

What people here don't seem to acknowledge is that commercial FTA TV is in terminal financial decline.The "rivers of gold" they used to get from advertisers are no longer there.Media is so diversified that there is no value in paying large amounts for advertising time.FTA viewing numbers are falling by more than 10% year on year and this figure is much greater in every demographic under 50 years of age.Because they are not earning the revenue they cannot afford to buy the programming.For example Channel 9 have only offered Cricket Australia about half of what they are currently paying for the next international cricket contract.Sports will look at ways to increase exposure beyond pay TV but FTA will rarely be one of those ways. |

And yes Joe Saward has been arguing (or wishing) for a change back to FTA. You can also add Autosport to that, although ironically their thoughts on the topic are hidden behind a pay wall. |
