7.3o report

[jbb/james]

Anyone catch  this last night,, There was an article on News ltd, there partnrships with the packers, and stokes from ch7. There involvement together in fox sports, the anti siphoning debate and how together they can possibly collude to scuttlebut the NRL's new deal for TV rights

And the pressure they can apply through there media association to derail any govt that doesnt comply with there thinking and plans on the anti siphoning

For those unaware the govt insists we get certain events on free to air ( anti siphoning) as a cultural experience, eg, the GF and origin but there are heaps, where they want it on pay TV to get us all to pay more

Regardless of the new independent commission , news ltd is a cancer that will never be eradicated from the game

It was a good show and will be available on the web and probably repeated id assume

Yes James, I did manage to catch that story last night.
It's almost incestuous how the human whale J Packer, the Murdochs and even the owner and controller of ch 7, Kerry Stokes are all ultimately in bed together, sharing the spoils.
