Channel Nine gets TV rights for Australian Open from 2020

Postby Gozu » Thu Mar 29, 2018 12:55 pm

Nine has announced it has secured the rights to the Australian Open from 2020-2024.

The $300 million, five-year deal covers exclusive rights to all premium tennis played in Australia across broadcast, streaming, mobile, digital and social platform, including the Hopman Cup in Perth and the Brisbane, Sydney and Hobart Internationals.

The deal breaks Seven’s 40 year grip on the prized event, strategically placed ahead of the television ratings year.


Nine is currently in negotiations with Cricket Australia for broadcasting rights and it is yet to be determined how the new Tennis deal will affect deep pockets and summer scheduling.

Will cricket now be on the move from Nine?

Given Nine lowballed the cricket deal and CA rejected it.....Seven can now negotiate a bargain given the recent events.

hopefully 7 get the rights and cricket coverage gets the shakeup it deserves. The Ch9 coverage is deplorable, the big bash has proven that
