  @Sharkydave44 Nine has the money from the Domain sale. Yes, Dazn would be incredibly stupid to lose the rights after forking out for Foxtel. Dazn has shown some form in trying to lowball sport bodies I don’t believe the numbers have been agreed on, I do think the NRL would prefer not to move

  @ZRistevski @rohan_connolly May have only been an issue on Kayo. I regret disconnecting Foxtel. Kayo sucks.

  @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.

  @xskinn Save your sanity. Screw Rupert Murdoch. Cancel anything through Foxtel, especially the fictional program “Sky News”. If you want something more factual than Sky News, I recommend Nieghbours, Home & Away, Days of our Lives, & importantly, Bluey. #SaveOurABC #FuckBillionaires

  @ShereeJohns @jagra1525 Absolutely, hands down the worst cricket commentator I have ever heard. Can Foxtel not hear him?? Same sort of boys club selections at Foxtel as the Australian cricket team have. Name before performance.

  @NRLMedia What an awful outcome for fans. Higher prices. Still have to watch the biggest games on nine in their ****** “HD”. Games covered by nine still not in 4K on Foxtel. ******* pathetic. It’s 2026 FFS, not 1990.

  Foxtel hasn't got a single nrl or afl replay available from this week. What a useless piece of **** this service is.

  Foxtel will keep increasing the price until they can force all their satellite subscribers over to Kayo so they can close down their superior but more cost expensive satellite services. They want to close all the none sport services & eventually Incorporate gambling options

  Why does ******* Foxtel need 5 firms if if to register a complaint . Seriously get some consumer action scout you for gods sake

• 
  AKoz9 (@Koz9A) reported 34 minutes ago

  @RealSprat Might try that. There's definitely just the one playlist atm, and never been that kind of option before. Could be a shortcoming of Prime through Foxtel box, so might try in a diff interface.

  @timellisau @Jousting_Sticks Never used Foxtel but I always assumed they deliberately made Kayo so ****** you had to pay the extra $$$ to use Foxtel and get extra features like 4k.

  RichitiGrub (@WSWanderingEels) reported 37 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.

  @simmoh666 @FOXTEL_Help @Foxtel Everytime Kayo plays up I find Foxtel is no good too. I just presume they using the same platform to stream with. Paramount were crap for two year just with sports the rest was good. They obviously took notice and worked to improve their technology & fixed it! Or viewers dropped

  Andrew (@Andrew664621) reported 39 minutes ago

  @Jousting_Sticks Of course it is, but consider the majority of your footy watchers are 10 cans or pots deep on the couch or at the pub, it’s hardly something they’re going to cancel their kayo or Foxtel membership over.

  & how ******** are Foxtel justifying a 3 man commentary team of Howard/Reiwoldt/Ricciuto for a Saturday night game. Phoning it in now

  @c0op111 I just don’t want channels though I am using Kayo a streaming service. If I wanted Foxtel Now I would’ve gotten that. I just don’t understand because all they have to do is flick a switch. Doesn’t cost them anything

  Don't pay for any applications or subscriptions. Cancel netflix foxtel etc all streaming platforms we own the phone companies. Delete bank account & open a new one. Information will be readily available at the touch of a finger. You can i read any encyclopaedia or text book Free.

  Foxtel is worth about $4.99-$6.99 a month, it’s full of commercials… cancel your Foxtel now

  The Steps (@mcnamara_team) reported 57 minutes ago

  @clarke3110 @bondiroosters Yep, Kayo is just the revamped Foxtel rip off. The AFL and NRL have let down the supporters, won’t be long until the attendance to games drops because the general lack of interest is.

  Yeezalicious (@Yeezalicious69) reported 59 minutes ago

  @PollyPorridge My town didn’t have channel ten until I was like 12? Or maybe later so if you didn’t have Foxtel you never saw it, and when I visited my aunty in Adelaide it was banned so it was a double whammy

  @Raiders_24Sep89 We need Foxtel not to own it kayo is garbage & will cost $500 a year soon for a tax payer subsidised sport. Channel 7 & 9 split coverage, ad free games on stan or similar

  @Bingbongbo10475 @telegraph_sport The TV ratings have been neck and neck for FTA/VOZ audience figures. Both AFL and NRL hovering around 500-650k. AFL has beaten the NRL multiple times this season including last night which was AFL 655k and NRL 544k. It's always going to change though depending on the games that are on and general interest in those teams. In the stands, its 37,623 AFL and 21, 676 NRL for average attendance. That's 73% higher. For last season in particular, AFL had a Seven FTA average of 630k, and roughly 300k for Kayo/Foxtel NRL had a Nine FTA average of 570k and around 430k for Kayo/Foxtel. So no, it's not night and day between "every domestic sport combined" its barely midday and 1pm between NRL and AFL, and night and day between AFL and NRL when it comes to people actually getting off their arses and going to support their team. I don't watch either sport, but the facts are there in black and white.
