You volunteering W69 for a seat on the committee to consider free to air, paid by Cindy Astern from income of taxpayers?

Word is that the ranks of consultants have already increased by thousands in Wellington since Labour took office.

You might as well get your share!

Inbox regularly gets ‘invites’ to join the party ...too old for that sort of stuff ...but tempting if it’s going to be a cold wet winter

I don't want throw throw a spanner in the works - but i'd remind you Clair Curran is Minister of Broadcasting. She doesn't know how to work a Diary so I don't think she would have a clue on how to use a remote to find a sports channel. Given I'm sure Fellet reckons the best way to get a great sports broadcast picture is to fiddle with the knob on the back of the TV I don't hold out much hope for NZ managed sports broadcasts.

Watch the share price go down today faster than a fat kid on a see-saw.

Given they have SANSAAR rights expiring 2020 I see little left to keep propping up the share price.

What big trouble?

Fellett reckons it is no big deal if you read the NZX release carefully.

They still have the SANZAAR rights until 2020 and they will squeeze every goddam cent out of rugby mad New Zealanders until then.

Not Fellett's problem after that - he retires next year and will still pick up his $150,000 a year director fees for a few more years after that before Sky goes red and shut down.

profits declining, everyone starting to circle the rotting corpse

Not a surprise though

Hope Jacinda steps in ....all NZers deserve to watch the World Cup games live ....for free

It's a highly paid professional sport, why should taxpayers foot the bill?

It shouldn't. But Winnie the Pooh and his bunch of merry men were making things "non-negotiable"
