When I've paid for subscription print media, the ad:content ratio was much higher...

By the way I have had Foxtel for 20 years and for me it is good value because of F1 and Moto GP.Now EPL is gone without those I would probably be out of it.Also while some may position themselves as Ruperts BFF many of us see him as one of Australia's biggest corporate tax "avoiders" and a malignant influence on the Australian and world wide democratic process.

Last media deal was $240m-ish over 6 years.
$40m per year.

Would a million people pay $40/year for a streaming service? Maybe

Would any sponsors want to be on the cars for those million people? Nope

Is the CAMS model of allocating Category Management rights really good for motorsports as a whole?

Tennis Australia and Cricket Australia are in the middle of negotiations for TV etc. rights at the moment so it was interesting to read an article in the Fairfax media in recent days detailing how money from media rights is spent by those two organisations.

Apparently these organisations and others including the AFL use a fair percentage of the money to promote and develop their sports at the grass roots level.

I know that the AFL have allocated several million dollars to develop the AFL and facilities etc. in the Latrobe Valley (for example).

I would imagine that TA and CA would use a large proportion of it's funds on developing their sports in regional locations as well as other domestic competitions that do not have major income streams.

CA control all of the various forms of cricket including big bash and Sheffield Shield unlike motorsports where CAMS only really run F4.

The current Australian Motorsport system of category management sourcing media rights does nothing to promote or develop junior motorsport at the level of karting ,FF or F4.

There would appear to be something wrong with the model being used in Australian Motorsport.

Tourer · 6 Apr 2018, 00:21 (Ref:3813110)

Hearing you champcarman but CAMS has shown itself to be lacking when it comes to things like broadcast rights etc. That's what lead to the current model - an acceptance by CAMS that they were better suited to being an ASN only and not a wholesale marketing / sponsor chasing / broadcast rights motorsport organisation.

I don't know how (if) they could undo the current model - no doubt there'd be a bunch of legal issues to deal with at the very least and CAMS would be a very different organisation in terms of staffing (& no doubt cost).

Other thing to bear in mind is that many decisions within the CAMS structure are actually made by volunteer committees - at one stage there was a huge number of those committees, over 100 if memory serves. They sometimes only meet once a quarter. The staff administer the organisation but often are beholden to decisions made by committees. I'd reckon that overall structure would need to change if the CA/TA/AFL models were to be followed - a very big job that would need member support to change the constitution etc, not sure that would ever get up to be honest.

Story here that cricket might end up behind a Foxtel pay wall

At the risk of defending CAMS, when they started giving away the category marketing rights in the 90s (In V8s case to TEGA at the end of 1995), they wouldn't have been thinking that far ahead to a time when TV money could fund the development of the sport.

CAMS will never ever get back the power they had.

Looks like a deal is imminent for Cricket rights, with 9 & 10 missing out and Fox having a lot of exclusive content: Deal nearly done

Yeah, although remains to be seen how the anti-syphoning list is dealt with. It might also be a tipping point for taking up a Foxtel subscription. Personally, I've resisted up till now (couch time has its drawbacks) but I'm wavering and wanting to watch some cricket might just be the final straw for me.

It really isn't much of a big deal. International 20 and 50 over games were less popular than the Big Bash so are no bother. The Big Bash is a cash cow for CA and whomever broadcasts it so will stay on FTA. Test cricket is better on pay tellie because they aren't always throwing to an ad break. I watched the ball tampering live from South Africa on Foxtel. Made for sickening viewing.

Guess with nine taking the tennis 7 had to come up with something.

On the up side here is a great opportunity to get rid of channel nine commentary team.

Sold out grounds most days of the week over what eight (?) weeks and a generous tv deal plus merchandise and endless sponsorship = cash cow. If CA cant make money out of this they never will.

Cash cow for CA not for tv network.FTA networks lose large amounts on every big sport tv deal.They supposedly do it for the "halo" effect for their network.Last year 9's bankers warned them about bidding big for cricket rights because of the money they lost on the last contract.Happy that we will get rid of the 9 commentators who based their approach on hyper nationalism rather than the sport.
Interesting to see what has happened with streaming rights as this was the big roadblock a week ago.Foxtel wanted exclusive on this while 7 wanted it through their app.As a big cricket fan not interested in Big Bash but who likes international cricket not involving Australia hope this deal doesn't mean cut back in international coverage from South Africa and New Zealand.
Now back to motor racing.P2 in China starts in an hour.

Between Fox and Netflix/Stan there is almost no need for FTA anymore
