Feels like good news all round re the coverage of the support categories (at a subscriber price of course but many sports are only on Foxtel so not a disadvantage).

I'm not sure that you're right on the digital rights separation being a "Warburton" thing - wasn't it his predecessor that did that? Happy to be corrected but think that's how it went down.

I see this announcement as a good thing - everyone now knows where they'll stand through 2014, the V8 organisation and teams have a handle on their earn from the rights structure for 2015 and beyond and the TEN / Foxtel people have got rights locked down for six years at a known cost structure.
