A multi-billion-dollar broadcast deal is in the works for the NRL - and if it goes through (as it's expected to), it would become the biggest media rights deal in Australian history. So what does the sheer amount of money on the table say about the state of Australia’s media industry? And with Nine, Foxtel and Stan all in the mix, who is actually going to foot the bill? Carrington Clarke and ABC Chief Business Correspondent Ian Verrender break it all down on ABC Business Daily. You can check out Ian's piece on the NRL here. Got a burning business question? Send a short voice recording to Carrington and the team at abcbusinessdaily@abc.net.au and we'll attempt to answer it.
