The volatile atmosphere around sports rights during the COVID-19 pandemic has taken another twist, with Nine arguing its deal to televise cricket's Twenty20 World Cup in Australia is no longer valid because of the postponement of the tournament.
"So we will talk to all relevant parties about those rights when they become available again but at this point there is no concrete details, so for the moment we are out." However, after four decades of beaming international cricket into Australian homes during the summer, Nine switched to tennis two years ago with a $300 million, five-year deal to televise the Australian Open.
"We're absolutely committed to delivering our side of the bargain which is fantastic summer of cricket and I think work with all our partners to deliver the best possible summer, the best possible experience, the best possible entertainment for all our fans and the public," Hockley said."So, that’s what we’re focused on and I think we’ve got a very clear agreement, that is fulfilling our part of the bargain and that’s entirely what we’re focused on.
