yes, the Netherlands have banned crowds from all sporting events, though cinemas, theatres and (seated) gigs are fine.

New EBU - World Athletics deal until 2029

Good news for the BBC even if athletics feels less and less relevant. I assume when C4 briefly had the rights the EBU didn't have them for Britain (and presumably the other larger countries).

Asking here as I don't think there is an international sports rights thread on here yet like there was on in the other place:

Does anyone have any information on how the international rights work for the Autumn Nations Series? Are there separate packages?

I only ask as BeIN MENA have showed various matches each weekend but never England matches even against Australia or South Africa on either their Arabic or English channels. They have (or will show) shown the following:

Ireland v Japan
Wales v South Africa
Scotland v Australia

Scotland v South Africa
Ireland v New Zealand
Wales v Fiji

Scotland vJapan
Wales v Australia
Ireland v Argentina,

Anyone able to explain why?

The rights to the Autumn Nations Series (November internationals hosted by Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, France, and Italy) are now sold by Six Nations Rugby but I think only as existing deals expire. For example even though the U.K. rights are now centralised and sold to Amazon, Channel 4 is being allowed complete the last season of its existing deal for Ireland games, and so Amazon will only take over these rights next year.

Previously (until this season) Autumn international rights were separately sold by each union, so the RFU, IRFU, SRU, WRU, FFR, FIR would have each had their own tv deals for their own hosted games.

Thanks that makes sense, so BeIN could be showing the matches through existing deals with IRFU, SRU and WRU as they only seem to show those 3 team's home matches.

NBC keep the Premier League rights in the US with a huge increase in the fee being paid.

As an idea of how the cost of those has grown:

2010 = $85m* (Fox / ESPN - 3 years)
2013 = $250m (NBC - 3 years)
2016 = $800m (NBC - 6 years)
2022 = $2.7bn (NBC - 6 years)

(*Based on The Athletic saying the 2013 deal was worth triple the previous one.)

Don’t really understand what he means by saying the deals are basically a global Comcast deal. Surely both the UK and US deals are separate from each other.

It does suggest other players were giving serious bids perhaps DAZN were also after them.

It's not the best wording really, but I think what it's try to get at is in their most significant single market overseas, they've a deal with a company under the same corporate ownership as their biggest domestic rights holder.

Quote:It does suggest other players were giving serious bids perhaps DAZN were also after them.
There was a tweet from sports broadcasting writer James Andrew Miller saying two sources had said Fox / Warner had bid higher, that's been denied by Martyn Ziegler of The Times. Industry analyst Jack Genovese tweeted that Fubo had reportedly bid $2bn.
Not seen any suggested figures for the rumoured joint CBS / ESPN bid.

Worthwhile noting that the A League in Australia in now being covered by Channel 10 and Paramount+

Optus have now extended their rights there though for the Premier League through to 2028.

https://tvtonight.com.au/2021/11/optus-sport-extends-deal-with-premier-league-to-2028.html

Fairly long term deals it seems - not uncommon in the US of course but now perhaps the covid caution is subsiding it is the time to lock them in with the fear of new streamers coming in and taking the rights.

Three co-commentators alongside Andrew Cotter for Wales v Australia which is at least one too many. I thought three on commentary was pushing it myself but four certainly doesn't work.

Who were they for those of us that didn't watch the game?


The Sport Thread - Brekkie - 20-11-2021

Sam Warburton, Tom Shanklin and Stephen Larkin. It really was too many, especially when you have the TMO regularly featuring too.

Gabby Logan has hosted every Welsh game as well, only doing one England game last week.

Was there any reason Final Score was on BBC Two rather than its usual slot on BBC One this weekend? It's not unprecedented for it to be on Two rather than One (bank holidays or when live sport like the Six Nations takes presedence) but showing Mary Poppins for what is at least the 20th time in BBC One's history doesn't strike me as such an event (as much as I rate Mary Poppins as a classic children's/family film).


RhysJR post_id=52300 time= user_id=1340 Wrote:Forgot to say that it appears Amazon's full match replays are only avaialble to catch up for seven days with both of last week's matches seemingly vanished from the site. Got to say that's rather disappointing with most catch ups (including Prime's football IIRC) available for a month at least, and that includes S4C's highlights from last week that is avaialble for another 27 days.

Whilst browsing around today I noticed that the above has been changed and every match is available in full on Prime Video so presumably they're on there for at least a month after transmission. All pre-match coverage is available too but not any of the post-match reaction.
