Hearing noise on the football rights.

The mail is the deal is done with Ch9 and Stan - $35 million per season. A-League & W-League. (Unconfirmed).
The APL is getting 32 mil this season but some of that would have been siphoned of by the FFA for Socceroos/Matildas. Wonder how much they are gonna lose to be recognised as the top league in Aussie by the FFA.
$35M is a lot less than the $60M odd per season Fox were paying, up to this season.
Watered down A League is here to stay?? Unless APL/clubs have other revenue streams in the pipeline.
But good news that Channel 9, a free to air broadcaster are likely involved, re maximising viewership for the code hopefully.
