ngakonui grass Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Trackside TV has joined the SPARK stable. I presume that u will have to pay for this service. How about rejoining the Free to View stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adios to racing. Hasn't been the case with cricket, tennis, golf where in many countries, broadcasting is by pay/subscription. Global betting on these sports is huge.

curious Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Besides, I wouldn't call it a pay wall exactly. The above mentioned sports I would say are behind a paywall because they require a subscription. Trackside channels are free to air if you have a sky dish. You can either rent a decoder from sky for $18.70 a month or buy your own for about a hundred bucks. Can't see anyone who can't afford that contributing much to racing turnover.

I tend to agree that in a place like NZ where they have no exposure. But that is the trend. And if NZ racing was attractive to viewers/punters, the complaints about paying to view would be less.
