How is that Red?!!!

Been wondering about this since they announced the reduction in money to the A-League based on low subscriber and TV viewing numbers which was a surprise to me that they had this written into the contract. (Smart on their part.)

I wonder if they're not deliberately running it into the ground to get out of their contract with the A League.

Thoughts?

Have to laugh really.

I don't think they are running it into the ground. 
It's probably a cheap product for them that is a content filler. And no need to spend anymore on the service. 

The problem is everyone thought this was a deal of the a lifetime for the sport, and thought P+ were in it for the game. 

Foxtel always was the best tv deal our game has ever had. 
And I'd still prefer it on there. 

Paramount if poor for everything not just the league.

For a company that has so much money behind it I'm amazed how poorly they launched the product here.
Almost like they didn't believe they could compete with other streaming services so went in half arsed just as a test which is an awful strategy.

As far as the A-League goes it's getting harder to find on the app (I guess there's a easier to find sports tab) but if you just click watch now it used to go to the latest live game now it just starts a random replay from Rd1.

Obviously I know how to navigate it but I swear they have made it harder not easier

I get all A-League games live from overseas using the Amazon stick. Better than trying to scramble for games in Australia.

I'd say they're just being pragmatic, if certain metrics in ratings and streaming are not being met then games are going to be scheduled at times and days that is essentially just filler.   The fact is Paramount/10 was the only entity that bothered to bid on the rights for the A League and although no one would ever admit it they are probably fairly ambivalent about the decision considering how things are going and the FA are probably nervous.  I wonder if the APL consulted their broadcaster before they made that idiotic decision to sell the Grand Final to some cheesy tourist mob. 

I thought Stan sports bid for it as well but they offered less and wouldn't have us on a main channel?

Google smart STB fellas.
