    The Fox TV guide also lists the Tonga match as live, which is intriguing, in light of what LMSC posted at the time the axe fell. He said repeatedly that Fox were a large part of that as they contended that it was too expensive to do live telecasts out of Perth. I replied to him then that I was sceptical as all the Fox Rugby commentators, apart from the Rat's Arse employee Kafer were backing the Force. Arranging coverage in such a short time is a pretty mean feat and it would be interesting to know the financials of the deal. Maybe Fox lost a whole heap of subscriptions in WA when they didn't deserve to?

    Not disagreeing with the general intent Shasta, but there are companies in Perth that Fox could use to outsource the job.

    The fact that it's also on FTA might even be a suggestion that somebody has won the tender to provide the broadcast stream and this is being sent to the various broadcasters. I would suggest this is the easiest method for Twiggy to use to get the broadcast happening rapidly (he can contract a stream provider as soon as he books the ground and sell everybody the media package.

    That also might explain Fox killing the Force in Super Rugby but buying the Force in WSR. All I know is that Fox held all the cards in the deal, if they refused to rewrite the contract and insisted on 5 then we would still be shackled to the millstone that is SuperDuperRugby.

    Maybe GIGS. But we also need to take into account that Fox definitely don't hold all the cards. The ZA broadcasters do. Always been the case and always been the reason ZA gets what they want.

    What the dopes running the RA fail to realise is that the extra money in this deal came from England and France. The Force, Kings and Cheetahs gave them extra content to fill their time slots. Kicking these teams out gives them less content and a valid reason to cough up less money next time.

    I am pretty sure that Twiggy has paid for the FTA himself, part of his promise to the fans.

    Wasn't there some talk of an arrangement with Kerry Stokes it's just that neither want to make it public?

    I'm curious about that myself, especially with the positive coverage on Today Tonight. Usually Seven and other local channels take a big dump on competing sporting codes; but Seven have been positively beaming, showing the Force ads along with it. Maybe when there is a vested interest, à la the Wildcats back in the day, they don't poo-poo other sports? Maybe Stokes has an interest?

    Woohoo. This alone is a defining moment in Australian Rugby. Live free to air coverage is about as good as it gets, and this is a NON-Test match. This is going to be an unbeleivable spectacle. Can't wait to see the national FTA and Fox viewership numbers...
