The Zdrilic with bridges tonight and was much more tolerable.

Didn't realise till yesterday that Mel was back on the football box - in luscious Optus HD.
Why wasn't I told?
ABC radio saying a $200m 4 year broadcast deal with fox to be announced today. no FTA component yet.
Was the last deal about $80m over 4 years?
I think it was $160M over for years.... (200 is well bellow what they were hoping for)

From $40M per season to $75M (incl add ons - foreign rights etc)
Salary cap to $3.4M per season.
Looks like the new deal is over 6 years, not 4.
$346mil over 6 years*

They must plan on getting a shit load for the overseas rights. $57M is a long way short of the $80M goal they had.
$80m was always optimistic (and was only really what Frank Lowy- as an observer -spoke of). Overseas rights not negotiated yet and neither is the free to air component so there will be an increase on the current figure. A good result in my eyes.
Who is going to bid for FTA though? Will end up being SBS with peanuts again.
Was reading that some of the commercial stations are battling for T20, with A League FTA as a back up option.
Could pick up one of those for more than SBS offer. Wont be massive, but you never expect it to be with Fox paying such a large amount for their part of the broadcast rights.
Must be 7/10 then because Nine said today they have zero interest in A-League broadcasting.
*edit*
Comment to some news site I've never heard of.

Gypo journo, Ray Gatt, also says there is little interest from FTA.

Guardian article suggest FTA interest but not till BBL rights sorted.

Saturday night game for FTA as well, not the Friday as it currently stands.
Would get more boutique fixtures, derbies etc.
So more importantly where we wasting our extra money??
Over paying injury prone goal shy foreigners??
Or we locking Kanta BK Hoffman and Hoole into life time contracts??
People are crazy thinking the rise in the Cap will add more quality. The same not up to standard Australians will still be making up the numbers, they'll just be getting paid more to no be good enough.
wonder how much of this money will go to better coaching and development of young players
I have to say this was my exact thought, there are already some overpaid players in this league.
In saying that i guess the teams that will succeed will be the ones who manage it better by keeping lesser players on the same money and investing in better quality.
On the brightside, we will be able to afford to by one or two more overpaid, mediocre squad players!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
It's just a CPI adjustment.
BBL peaked at nearly 1.5m viewers last night... with an ad being force fed every 3-4 minutes. That's where the money is.
No FTA commercial network is going to pay big money for something that can only have an advertisement every 45 minutes.
