Thing is there is a middle ground. All teams need to be streaming there home games. It's not that hard, although it costs money. We'll soon see if the thing that passes for the WNBL's 'soul' has been sacrificed on an altar of a Fox weekly TV broadcast and nothing much else.
The partnership needs to make some specific announcements to clarify this issue. The League's teams had made solid progress with streaming last season. Hoping there is room in the legalities of the partnership to accommodate a mix of live streaming (at no cost or low cost) in addition to the fantastic prospect of a live TV broadcast on Fox each week.
