  @GusLefty @AJG71 @karlstefanovic QED. This ALP fool doesn’t know Foxtel rolled out and paid for a cable network for far less $/ customer than the NBN. Foxtel: ~$800–$1,100 per premise. NBN: $2,000–$2,750+ per premise.

  “There might be a change in broadcasters” Reading in far too much: - “might” - All on Sky on table? - No BBC? Bad IMO - huge reach. Unless ITV want it to add to rugby pfolio - On Pay TV. DAZN? Owns Foxtel so aligned with NRL, but £26 pm. TNT? Not the same production quality

  @footyindustryAU Can i ask a stupid question? Why did Dazn need to buy Foxtel? Why couldnt they just save there cash and bid for the rights of the NRL, AFL when it comes up etc? I mean Foxtel (Fox Sports) are worth nothing without the rights in the first place?

  @Optus @alexblair_1 First thing I would check is Alex on Kayo or Foxtel? Everyone complains about Kayo I constantly have issues with Foxtel through the internet continuously buffering while my download speeds are in the 80s!

  @SoundingBoardEp @DrinkWiseAus Would the AFL be secretly hoping that Foxtel retain the broadcast rights to the NRL given that it's foreign ownership would have to consider the network's future if it lost the NRL?

  @Foxtel to be fair it was probably an individual's response and not a common call but you would think it would be included in training to treat such instances with more sensitivity.

  @Colvick Why would anyone watch free to air if they have Kayo/Foxtel which is a far superior service.

  @banditkayfabe WWF RAW was on Fox Sports 1 on Foxtel at 8.30pm on a Tuesday night for us. Always a few hours late but I was glued every week for about 5-6 years solid without fail.

  @JonesPam7777 @OMGTheMess Kinda sorta bloody oath. I got my pay rise, I'll be paying $22k in tax plus all the other taxes and council rates and water rates and electricity. Then I pay for Foxtel and internet and mobile phone. And then have to eat. And I don't live in a city. Poor people who do.

  **** this, I'm going out today to spend $3k on a media setup. I'm going back to just pirating TV/Movies. It's not because I am not willing to pay, its I am tired of paying subscription services and having everything so fragmented and being Nickel and Dimed by the services. When we worked on HD Streaming in the 2000's we set the foundation up for the industry to make video possible more easier. Even back then convincing Hollywood / TV Networks to abandon physical media for streaming was a huge undertaking in itself. They just were ******* in contracts with the creators of content and couldn't find a way to make online work. Fast forward 20 years later and this is the **** we end up with. It literally is just easier to pirate than its to keep doing this. atm I pay for: HBO Max Stan FoxTel Primewire Paramount Netflix Disney+ BritTv (i forgot to cancel the trial fml) AppleTV+ Its about $160 a month AUD I can't find half the **** i want to watch and the stuff that I want to watch is full of ads, or you have to then pay extra ontop. I'm out. stfu ... I'ma use AI to setup a complete end to end media experience.

  @jake_w0405 @gilby_gillard @kayosports Yep. Use some remote bullshit to cancel a $40/ month subscription with kayo. Only other way to get your sport is via a “sports package” tacked on to a higher monthly subscription with Foxtel.💅🏻 Pricks.

  Freo ⚓ Pope (@FreoPope) reported 39 minutes ago

  @FkYeahMatt I think Kayo just picks up Foxtel channels & re-packages them into streams. Foxtel is focused on their channels & they stayed to the end of the Swans game that ran over due to a bad injury, before they switched to the AFLW. Don't think Kayo produces shows that are on FoxFooty

  @MichaelPascoe01 NRL before the kids. It’s directly related to Foxtel and Nine's broadcast rights with the NRL. Non gambling Advertising revenue is down so the only income these mobs will get for the footy is from Gambling. If labor bans Gambling ads the NRL won’t get same the money for the deal

• 
  George W. Grundy (@georgewgrundy) reported 47 minutes ago

  Absolutely outrageous - you can buy a UFC fighting subscription from @Foxtel with one click, but in order to cancel you have to phone a call centre and take over 30 minutes to get it cancelled over the phone. Absolute ripoff, what ********.

  bomber_stu (@stu0508) reported 47 minutes ago

  @terrypunter5 @kayosports Hmm. That shouldn't be giving you too many issues. I admit I switched from Foxtel to Kayo a while back to save some $$. My Kayo experience was also very poor, to the point I couldn't stand it and had to switch back

• 
  RichitiGrub (@WSWanderingEels) reported 48 minutes ago

  @Debre947 More games this year have a FTA component to them than previous. So Foxtel for the AFL will more than likely be down due to competing Free to air and doubling up multiple games and sometimes 3 game like the Sunday just past. Looks rosie but the numbers you don’t see will be poor.

  @7AFL Do yourselves a favour …. Watch an episode of “On the couch” on Monday at 7:30am @Foxtel @kayosports AND then watch this 💩 Result = You will never watch Agenda Setters again

  Kayo is such a rubbish streaming service, all thanks to those retards at Foxtel for giving them exclusive broadcasting rights. When the Footy is over I'm gonna buy another region's F1TV and watch there. This is garbage.

  @SkullSpeedDeal "Women"? Who started the gutter screaming? Channel 7 and that Victorian disgrace the Herald Sun. copied and pasted by the circus Foxtel. The yelping poodles following selective clubs and players trying to bring them down. Not women.

  @BigdogGC77 @gilby_gillard @kayosports When you say losing customers? Are people moving over to Foxtel? Or how else do you watch sport? Genuinely curious, I’ve got Foxtel so never had Kayo, seems like a terrible service
