I wonder what the % take up of Fox is??

I don't have it, so no netball in my house anymore.

GOOD!

i guess you missed the part about a live game every sunday and also the finals on SBS

and, of course no one is talking financials. Does this mean Netball are paying for the coverage, as they have reportedly done in the past?

SBS have OnDemand too which would cover replays for a time. I think 95%+ of TV I watch is either OnDemand, iView or NBL.TV.

Good on netball for this! I watched the Queensland (firebirds i think!) vs the Southern Steel and the Brisbane Convention Centre was full, despite it being live- it was great to see!!

The average weekly audience for wnbl on abc was about 62,000 up 8 percent on the previous year.
You know the biggest problem for basketball is me and you - the supporters. We spend too much time bagging our product instead of actually working together to ensure it gets the recognition it deserves.
It is a great sport and if we,starting with BA, could get our act together it would start to get its due recognition. Over 1,025,000 people play the game regularly - it is a great sport and we need to work on getting it the due recognition and then more 'free to air ' will follow and the quality of the games will improve as clubs get more bums on seats

Cherry Picker. You, like me to some degree, sound like an apologist for BA.

However, quoting moronic figures like 1 million people playing the game regularly on this forum will do your credibility no good here.

Quote the registered player numbers, if you can find them, not some fanciful number that represents people who looked sideways at a ball in rebel sport.

Over a million people have looked sideways at basketballs in Rebel sport! Is that over the period of a week, month or year?

I never realised Rebel's customer profile mapping went to that level of detail? I thought the in store cameras were for security purpose only.

Play nice HO, and go easy on the rookies.

chided.

This deal is great for Netball coverage but how about the players pockets? Pay Up!

ANZ Championship 2013 Salary Cap is currently $380,000 nzd

Needs to amped up to around $500.000 with that sort of tv coverage?

That's right Bill Russell. Netball players get paid very little, so i guess it frees up a lot of cash to spend on marketing and getting TV deals (if the netball power brokers are actually paying for this coverage). Unless we know the financial deal of this coverage, we can't exactly give them too much credit, when it's known the players are very low paid.

And when you compare the NBL to the ANZ Championship, surely the NBL rates better* and there's no way SBS and FOX would be this generous to netball, right???

*would not be surprised if I'm wrong there considering basketball rates very poorly on TV, but netball would not rate much better - I don't have facts, so don't abuse me!

Netball clearly sells out most games , Basketball has a broader audience . But from an amature basketball players POV , the ladies need to get there money!

The deals bloody awesome for 2seasons!

Look how much league is getting from telly?
Maybe Tom Waterhouse will be at every game?

Gamble responsibly folks!

Is Bill Russell a rookie BigAds?

Fire at will HO
