In my case, it's a "If I'm home, I'll watch"-type scenario, but if I'm out, I won't rush home to see a game not involving my team.

but to me its not about whether Wellington play sexy football or not. it is completely insane that the only team not based in Australia will potentially get the most games on FTA in Australia. That is a fucked up idea and a solution needs to be found. Are we also gonna get the sky sports production with the heinous NZ commentators? gimme a spell. 


Well, if Wellington are as terrible as everyone claims, then that would mean we get to see Aussie teams beating up on them every week.
That would be good for ratings, yes?

The basic maths on viewership has to be: 

supporters of the home team + supporters of the away team + neutral viewers. 

Nix are not not going to pull their weight when it comes to their supporters viewing because most of them are overseas so it stands to reason Nix will have lower viewership than Australian teams

my point clearly went over your head. it doesn't matter whether wellington is good or bad or plays sexy football or boring football. they just should not be on any FTA H&A games in Australia. ever.

The time will have to change from 5:15 if it's on the main ABC channel. There's not much chance they'll delay the 7pm news.

Just a thought bubble... I wonder if the ABC would consider showing the 4pm Sunday game on weekends when the Nix are scheduled to play on saturday at 5:15? a mix of FTA timeslots would give potential FTA bidders a bit of a cross section of ratings numbers going forward. It could benefit everyone involved.

nope. nada. nil. zero. a big fat 0. with 1 game per week  on FTA, we need to give as much FTA publicity to the Australian based teams on Australian TV as possible.

We had no Nix in the 1st FTA deal with SBS and look how bad the ratings were! It was just Aus teams only and it failed big time thxs to clubs like Bris Roar and CCM.
The less we see of SFC and MV the better we are off.

Not as bad as they were on 10.

I'm genuinely curious. What is your issue with the Roar?

Nomates, you've hit the nail on the head.  We should fold BR, CCM, SFC and MV, a bunch of anchors holding back the growth of the HAL.  Maybe bring in some more Kiwi teams to boost the metrics.

Not sure which league you've been watching, the roar have only been near the wooden spoon twice in 14 seasons. The reality is that the Roar's results are not only good but much more consistent when compared to most other clubs.

No way am I trolling, You all say the FTA games wont rate because of We||ington, but the truth is FTA has never rated even when the Nixs were banned from FTA on SBS.
However I do believe being on ABC the games should rate higher then Ch10.

Just in case SBS' relationship with the A-League hadn't hit rock bottom, latest quote from Lucy Zelic (tweeted by Michael Cain):  "Pormoting the A-League at the moment would be like pudhing shit up a hill.  When it comes to tv rights - this code is like the desparete woman at the bar at the end of the night."

There's a bit of truth to it, but, it's complicated.

Gallop and Lowy left the new board and the clubs with this deal, where basically Fox controls everything.  But - Fox paid for the privilege.

So here we are, not many options, but at least we have 3 or 4 years of what now looks like a pretty good broadcast deal in monetary terms (but still a flawed deal).

I believe someone else will emerge in the future to broadcast the A-League, but we might be hoping for the same amount of money, at best.

I believe a single deal with Fox suited both Fox and Lowy/Gallop who were happy to maintain the establishment. 

As a deal it was anti-competitive and quite frankly lazy from the FFA who showed no appetite to generate their own content (a key lesson from the EPL was to generate your own content to increase competition and quality) 

Indy-HAL should look to generate revenue from:

Overseas rights. 
STV rights. 
Streaming rights. 
Mobile rights. 
FTA. 
YouTube. 
Highlights Show. 

Right nis ghe FFA gave is one desk with Fox who then negotiate with everyone else, and possibly an overseas deal. 

Done right they’ll get more $$$ next time around.
