Message: [QUOTE="OXY-351, post: 2447656, member: 2107"] Maybe Fox were prepared to pay more for Saturday games. Maybe 9 didn't want any Saturday games. I'm not sure. My main point was that if you want the maximum deal in terms of dollars and sell your product, you have to accept the terms of those making that offer, especially when the number of potential bidders on your product is quite low. Sure the NRL could have opted to sell the rights for cheaper in order to get better coverage, and maybe they should have, but people will whinge either way. Who knows what 9's offer would have been if they were told they had to broadcast x number of games live at a time that suited the NRL. Who knows what the ch7/ch10 bid that included 4 live FTA games a week was. Maybe it was significantly less thas the 9 bid. At the end of the day, the coverage of the game today and over the past few years has been far better than it previously once was. I can remeber a time in the 90s when the Friday game was delayed, and the covereage of the Sunday game was an hours worth of highlights (inlcusive of ads) between 6:30 and 7:30. I'm not sure why people on here would be whinging about getting to see the broncos games live on FTA most weeks. [/QUOTE]
