Also re EPL the current deal has been a financial blood bath for Optus as they paid $114mill more than they needed to and sign ups have been a long way below their projections.Likely to be back on Foxtel after May 2019 when the current deal runs out.Also Foxtel has had a significant fall in subscribers as their non sport subscribers have moved to cheaper streaming alternatives in huge numbers.The fall out is that sport is likely to be Foxtel's core business.They are restructuring the whole business to facilitate this. |

I am weary about the future where the pay tv world is becoming more fractured, sure when it was manily just foxtel, it come at a cost but there was just one cost, now we are seeing more entrants in the pay world who come at a lesser cost, but im required to ahev more providers and thus it costs more. Still enjoying the Supercars coverage, best we have ever had |

I cant wait till next year and F1 stream online in the same way MotoGP do, add that to my NRL pass and Netflix and there's no need for Foxsports in this house.

The big caveat in this is Australia's brand new 3rd world standard copper wire National Broadband Network.This is such a turkey with no technical solution possible at this stage of roll out that a large proportion of people trying to watch something on it see more buffering than anything else.

Interesting. The MotoGP streaming service works a treat where I'm at, why are they able to have such a service yet F1 isn't? Peculiarities with the F1 contract?

Yes.Bernie wasn't in to streaming whereas Dorna saw the possibilities.Liberty has to live with Bernie's contracts.

Yeah Bernies legacy. Can't do any live streaming until the current contracts have run their course. Well unless they want to get sued by a broadcast partner that is. |

Well, isn't that that one out of the blue?
It puts another serious player into the TV market here - hopefully ends up being a good thing. |

does it? Some articles online are suggesting the opposite. They may cut costs as they can rely on their international coverage to fill gaps

Couple of further articles but no-one will really know everything unless it happens and once they see how the business is run: CBS only shareholder of 10? Speculation on how it'll operate |

I subscribe to Foxtel but every less media outlet controlled by the Murdoch's is a good thing for democracy.I doubt CBS would bother to go into this if they saw it as a bargain basement operation.This is one of the main reasons it got into trouble in recent years.It also breaks up what has been the cosy Foxtel/Ten relationship with motor sport contracts.Combining this with the current Foxtel restructure there will be implications for the next round of F1,Moto GP and Supercar contracts but impossible to foresee what they will be.

Yep - smaller investors are starting to fire up & in the meantime share values of rival networks have fallen: Trouble at Mill?

If Lachlan Murdoch and Bruce Gordon got it instead of CBS, we will be seeing FOX Sports doing sports for Ten.
I guess we will still see TEN promoting FOX in the upcoming few years for the A League, maybe Socceroos from October |

The first of the shared Ten/Foxtel shared motor sport contracts up for renewal is Moto GP where the current deal expires end of 2018.What happens there might be a clue about CBS's future in F1 and Supercars coverage.
