Cut to some bogan sheila from swimming or AFLW commentating by screeching like a banshee at 'our girl's going for gold' before throwing to Kochie to make injokes about the funny names of the fuzzy little foreigners

Shit, I didn’t know Optus were involved. Am I going to have to cough up $25 for the month?

Who from the channel 7 will be hosting and doing commentary? The only person that comes to mind is Mel Mclaughlin.

Did channel 10 put in a bid at all?

And Optus too for that matter.

Optus screwed the last world cup but it was hardly intentional.

And Sevens awful treatment of the game was decades ago. They have clearly bid for the world cup here as they know it'll be a ratings success. 

This is a good thing and I encourage anybody to explain how it isn't

Are you implying that C7 promotes a rival football code and therefore they try and sabotage the "wogball" again, just like uncle Frank's two last CEO's..... ???

Your good ol personality is starting to peek through your carefully constructed space bar poundings Paulie .....  The "Remote Conrol" persona is the "monotone, Lowy loving  robot from the future" remember? I miss the old xenophobic Croatian calendar hating one btw... bring him/her back please.

Are you kidding? 7 were terrible with the Olympics,  I recall one game where to watch you missed the start,  then had it on 7 and then had to switch at half time to a secondary channel.  That's terrible. I'm pretty sure they aren't able to cross promote on the coverage so we shouldn't have to hear about the AFL at least.

It has nothing to do with FA.  It is an agreement between Optus and Ch7.

Or    has   C10     already    given   up    on   the   Soccer  ,  and   looking    to   cut   its   losses  ?

Yes.  But   why    weren' t   c10   the   highest   bidder ?  They  have   already    sunk   money    into   australian   football . The   WWC   rights   would   be   chicken  feed. Wouldn' t   it   have   made   sense    for   them   to   have   the   rights  ?   Yet   C7,  a   channel   with   no   investment  in   the  game,    were    allowed   to   outbid    them ...

An excellent point. 

I assumed a top priority focus for Ten/Paramount was women's football, with the jewel being the WWC.  Maybe they've realize they've paid $200 million for a pup?

You   would  hope    that    is   not    the   case .  But  geez,   it    does   make   you   wonder ,   doesn' t   it ?

Hasn' t    c10    already   kicked    the   ALW   from   their    channels  ,  to paramount ?

Im with you on this Mid - below statement from them brings me hope - Daily highlights show, entire 64 game coverage - broadcasting across both FTA and streaming..... and like you said they paid money for it and would expect an ROI....

A daily highlights program will also be broadcast on the screens of Seven throughout the competition period, following an extensive lead-up program.

The rights have been sub-licensed by Optus, with Seven and Optus Sport developing a range of innovative plans to ensure Australians have the best possible coverage of the entire 64-game tournament
