According to 3AW 7, 10 and Foxtel have come to an agreement to cover AFL from next season.
Foxtel/Optus/Austar via Fox Sports 3 - 4 live games (Sat Arvo, Sat Night, Sunday arvo, Sunday Twilight), plus all replays. They will also have Friday night Live into QLD and NSW.
7 - Friday Night and Sunday afternoon
10 - Saturday Afternoon/Saturday Night.
Finals shared between 7 and 10, Grand Finals alternating.
Foxtel are reported to have paid $55 million for the 4 games (the same as they were going to pay Nine), leaving 7/10 a bill of around 40 million a year each plus contra which Foxtel will also share.
Glad I held off cancelling Foxtel! I am really excited they have two Sunday games, means for the first time ever, Sydneysiders have access to live coverage of all three Sunday games. First time ever.
