Foxtel’s big mistake was paying way over the odds for any domestic sport -excluding ARL and NFL-and then not getting any proportional return in increased subscriptions.Supercars is just as much a part of this as A League,Rugby Union and Cricket.
What they are doing in a state of financial distress is ending all these contracts so they have some money to go after AFL and NRL at the next contract renewal.Supercars will be part of these cuts.
All that is presuming Foxtel will still exist in a few months.Today News Ltd closed their regional papers and given that the Murdoch’s have had to personally bail out Foxtel pre virus to the tune of several hundred million dollars they might soon decide to pull the plug.
