New media rights talks to start this year

Almost 3 years to go on the current deal

Will be interesting to see what happens

It will certainly be interesting to see what happens. I just feel they need more FTA coverage, with more extensive coverage at the major events with a tape delay of the minor rounds, rather than highlights for the SuperSprint rounds.

I doubt it'll be much different.

There is little incentive for the FTA networks to be any more interested than they were for the 2015 rights, and Foxtel will be willing to pay overs to ensure they have subscriber content.

The horse has bolted

I'd be interested to see if any of the FTA outlets put in any kind of substantial bid on a series that is staring at a bit of uncertainty that will ultimately effect a percentage of their fanbase.

[one five five]

Would any of them team up and split the series in two (broadcast wise) ?

[bortall]

For FTA does it come down to how much is Bathurst worth?

The rest of the season probably doesn't matter to them.

Hopefully Supercars will regain the rights to distribute a Review and Bathurst DVD or even make it available by download.

The next deal is going to have to include some form of streaming in 4k

4k streaming is exceptionally unlikely to happen.

Streaming though would be good but I would expect like F1, that Foxtel would outbid/veto it.

It'd be great to pay for a 4K streaming package just to be constantly reminded how bad Malcolm Turnbull's broadband is.

NRL and AFL have streaming packages.

No idea and don't care what happens with Supercars but Foxtel won't be stopping F1 streaming when the next rights deal comes up.In every country where new F1 tv deals have come up for renewal this year-and there were over 40 of them with nearly all of them involving pay tv-a streaming option has been introduced.Although Liberty get a smaller amount when rights are not tv exclusive they are betting they can more than make this up from streaming subscriptions.An example of what will happen in Australia is Moto GP where Foxtel shows what is broadcast on the MotoGP.com site from meetings.
We will not be getting 4K streaming.Australia is condemned to a third world standard internet due to the political buffoons being in charge.Nothing can be done to fix that.We are stuffed in perpetuity.

Hate to tell you this mate but Supercars aint F1.

Foxtel says here's 200 million bucks, geoblock your streaming, that's what happens.

Read my post.I said at the start I couldn't care less about Supercars.I was just correcting your statement re F1.Wouldnt worry me if there was no coverage of any sort for Supercars.

Liberty Media (and other sports promoters) will eventually cut out the middle men.

Foxtel is only a delivery mechanism. When Liberty (and Supercars) can deliver the content themselves why involve Foxtel at all?

Direct subscription is the way forward. Perhaps not in time for the next rights but certainly the one after.

Foxtel themselves recognise this and have recently started to position themselves as an aggregated delivery mechanism.They are close to concluding an agreement to put Netflix in their content.I think for a long time to come there will be a place for them as a delivery mechanism.This is particularly so in Australia with our retarded third world Internet.News Limited did all they could to help successfully bring down the Labor government to protect their own commercial interests in this regard.
