I'm less pessimistic about the value of the next TV rights deal than many. After moderate ratings on Fox for the first couple of years of this deal, the Supercar ratings continue to grow. Nearly every race on Fox last year rated higher than the prior season.
Conversely, ratings on FTA (like everything else) is weak. The balance Supercars choose for FTA Vs exclusive to Fox will be an interesting choice.
I've been interested to watch the Fox Sports adds. 3 sports are featured - AFL, NRL and Supercars. No other sports are getting a mention.
