Thinking about cancelling Kayo today and hoping they give me a better deal

 

For those that have done this, how long before they email with a new deal?

      This can only end one way. Buffering and a scrolling wheel of death.

      Modern day punters have it so easy. We used to watch VFA on channel 10 with a black and white pixel haze. I couldn't even tell whether Eddie Melai or Fred Cook had the pill. And that was on a sunny da

    They're not really into it unlike Foxtel with their IQ box. You might get a $10 off offer during the AFL off season but I've not heard of much more.

    Try it and see as it's easy to rejoin

    Some hints coming about the future of Foxtel which could be relevant to ESPN

    As many would know HBO is about to launch its own Australian streaming service. Many thought that this would be a big blow to Foxtel and Binge. Still could be but Foxtel has softened the blow by giving access to HBO with ads for "free" on the Foxtel products.

    Could it be we will see ESPN on Kayo with ESPN ads in the future.

    Streaming with ads seems to be the big model in USA as the streamers find they simply can't grow/make money from subscriptions alone

    They will know your viewing preferences and that you watch footy so unlikely to offer a deal over the season.

    The good news is that Foxtel’s 1.4m residential subscribers will have not have to pay to get access to the new Warner content, that will be available for Foxtel customers the same day that it’s posted to Max according to Foxtel management.

    Binge, which has 1.6 million subscribers, who will lose access to the majority of the HBO library from March 31.  

    That is still a big blow for them, Imagine they'll lose a significant chunk of those Binge subscriptions. 

    ESPN may keep the exclusivity up with Foxtel/Kayo - we'll find out in a few months. Speaking of ESPN they've just mutually ended their 35 year deal with Major League Baseball.  Streaming Wars very fluid.

    I hope so.

    ESPN have clearly lost interest in the MLB. They went from showing 3 games a week down to 1 in recent years so it's no surprise they've finished up.

    daz n now having a solid sook about piracy of the epl, following them taking the french and italians to court over their apathy towards streaming piracy

    https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6161947/2025/02/26/sports-streaming-piracy-premier-league/

    The main problem in the UK, Herm said, is not illegal streams but ‘jailbroken Fire Sticks’, which are smart TV devices that have been modified so they give users access to premium channels for free.

    “The Amazon FireStick is a big problem here,” said Herm. “We think it accounts for about half of the piracy in the UK.

    “People think that because it’s a legitimate brand, it must be OK. So they give their credit card details to criminal gangs. Amazon is not engaging with us as much as we’d like.”
