Cricket Australia has rejected a joint bid for broadcast rights from Nine and TEN because they were not high enough.
“CA can confirm it rejected the bid of the consortium. Discussions are ongoing with other parties,” a Cricket Australia spokesman said.
Those discussions include FOX Sports however anti-siphoning laws mean Test matches, Australian Twenty-20s and one-day internationals cannot be shown exclusively on Pay TV unless the Free to Air networks pass on the content. The laws do not cover the Big Bash, which is broadcast on TEN.
FOX Sports executives were said to be frustrated by the combined Nine-TEN bid and restrictions imposed by the anti-siphoning list.

Nine Entertainment and Network Ten have put a new and improved offer on the table for Cricket Australia's broadcast rights to keep the sport exclusively on free-to-air television for the next six years.
The new bid, understood to be valued around $150 million annually, or $900 million over the six years of the deal, would see Ten retain the Big Bash League while Nine would keep the Test matches. But international Twenty20 and 50 over matches would switch from Nine to Ten under the new offer.
Nine and TEN have upped their bid for Cricket broadcasting, while FOX Sports, which took an offer off the table on Friday, is reportedly back in discussions.
FOX Sports is believed to be interested in a partnership with Seven, which is effectively seeking a replacement for the Australian Open is loses to Nine after next year.
Tensions surround the negotiations which have seen Cricket Australia’s chairman apologise to TEN for referring to them as “bottom feeders” whilst Foxtel director of sports Peter Campbell also hung up on Cricket Australia’s negotiating team on Friday.
