Idol thoughts and they can be dangerous … and very much in dream world >>>> BUT>>>
If Sky pay only $ 200, 000.
What if YF or the Nix’s or a joint venture between the club and fans, produce a youtube broadcast of all Nix’s games essentially stream all your games.
Cost I have no idea, the 13 away matches travel and accommodation ????? Smithy to call the games with Hard News as his 2IC…
The raw figures 27 games, say $ 5.00 per game streamed, average 7.5K watch. That’s over one million in revenue. Another way is every 1, 000 viewers is $ 135, 000.
Just saying you do better than Sky and average 35K per game… OMG 27 games by 35, 000 per game by $ 5.00 per game… that’s almost 5 million …
OK I put the joint down now >>>>> BUT >>>>>
Except Sky own the rights, so you'd be shut down before you even got started.
Plus the Yellow Fever bank account has a four figure sum of money in it, not a five or a six figure one!
I understand this it's obvious... however it was a four year deal ... meaning sometime next year the rights will be under negotiation ..
FFA have made it very clear they see what Sky pay for the rights and the air time they give Football to not be anywhere near what they want.
This means FFA must be willing to talk to any group willing to broadcast and pay more .... my understanding is there are a number of net / youtube operators both willing and capable of doing the broadcast and normally for a % fee of subscription ... assume a fee of say $ 4.00 per game.
With the additional teams ie 6 games per round by 33 rounds + finals is 203 games..
198 A-League matches which includes 33 Nix matches + 5 finals...
Just saying and pulled out of thin air ... however the calculation is the same no matter who does it...
33 Nic games say 35 K per game is 1, 155, 000 @ $ 4.00 or $ 4,620,000
165 other games say 10K per game is 1,650,000 @ $ 4.00 or $ 6, 600, 000
5 Final games say 30K per game is 150, 000 @ $ 4.00 or $ 600, 000
Total 11, 820, 000
Pay Fox a Fee or broadcast yourself say 50% FFA 40% ... YF / Nix parntership 10% ...
I will go back into my room now and forget I even suggested this but I would have throught all the above figures are achievable..
