Well the love-fest didn’t last long.
Less than a month after everyone was all-smiles at the Press Conference announcing that Foxtel was joining Seven and TEN in broadcasting AFL it seems there’s been a fallout.
Sure the games are staying put. But don’t expect to see any Foxtel ads on Seven or TEN.
According to The Australian, the 2 commercials are refusing to broadcast them.
Why? Because the ads boast their broadcasts are live and ad-free. And they have more games than any other network. Ouch.
Language like that was always likely to bite with the two biggies that have paid a pile of money. A lot more than Foxtel.
Meanwhile Foxtel is also annoyed the two networks remain out of re-transmission on its platform (as is just about anyone who subscribes to Pay TV).

No wonder 7 and 10 dont want their business. FOXTEL have been bullying them into submission again.
The court case of c7, the supposed buyout of Austar and the claims of workplace bullying and psychological stress by Melbourne Call Centre staff must mean one thing. Murdoch will bully his way to success…unless the courts stop
