Even with no ad-breaks at the completion of overs, our team has been able to innovate and seamlessly weave our partner brands into solid viewing experiences that keep fans engaged and paying attention.
“The ratings confirm that Foxtel is the go-to service for passionate sports fans, and that Foxtel Media can deliver on scale, engagement, and results for brands. Couldn’t have asked for better momentum as we head into the winter sports season.”
