Well I guessed wrong on that one didn't I? So Liberty pulled the plug. $20 mill is quite an amount to be in arrears. Wonder what period of time that covered?
Wonder if 10 are behind on other sporting broadcast payments and what impact that may have? |

while we cant be sure, ten seemed to be behind on many payments to media suppliers, it would be reasonable safe to assume they were behind to other sports

That would be my expectation too. I would imagine that the sports concerned (including Liberty) were listed as creditors and thus part of the vote to accept CBS. Maybe Liberty had an issue with that but others are waiting to see how it all goes down?

Fox Sports promoted several times across the weekend that from 2018 onwards, all Supercars sessions will be live and ad free. This means Bathurst in 2018 will be ad free on Fox.

I wondered when I saw those ads whether it meant Bathurst would no longer be on FTA in 2018

And there were **** tonnes of ads ! At least they still had pic in pic coverage up in the corner but all in all it was poor production values IMHO. |

It is a little more nuanced than that, but if no free to air stations want it then Foxtel can show it exclusively.

Right even though its on the anti-siphoning laws which stipulates what events have to be shown on FTA. Surely FTA would want Bathurst, as its the pinnacle in Australian Motorsport.

I would be surprised if no-one want it, and I am sure Supercars would be doing their best to find a taker. |

They did alot of motor racing in the mid-90s. They also did the 1993 Sandown 6hr for Production Cars (That years 12hr curtain raiser), 1995 Eastern Creek 12hr, almost two seasons of NASCAR/AUSCAR racing (they missed the first round of the 1993/94 season, and the last round of the 1994/95 season) |

Fox coverage was so frustrating with adds every 5 to 10 minutes which was to align with FTA. I guess atleast we got vision of the race whilst the adds were on.
Still a pain in the arsk but what other options do you have....nadda |

No complaints here, just muted the sound of the ads and watched the left box with the stream, and there were virtually no breaks in the last hour. Shows what FTA could have done for all those years where we got hammered senseless with ads all race long. |
