FOX Sports Australia will start charging for access to its foxsports.com.au website this week as part of an overhaul of the business that will also see new shows added to its pay-TV channel line-up and greater integration with the other digital and print assets of owner News Corp Australia.

From Wednesday the website will be added to the News+ digital subscription package, joining the sites belonging to News's metropolitan tabloids, Sydney's Daily Telegraph, Melbourne's Herald Sun, Adelaide Advertiser, Brisbane's Courier-Mail and Perth's Sunday Times.

That is a bit of a joke if my household pays for foxtel but then I am going to be charged to access the foxsports website.

I have foxtel as well and it's crap

Well that's because all those are own by the same company News Corp( formerly News limited) and these money grabbers also have part shares in foxtel

Its because they are looking for new revenue streams because once the full NBN (fibre to house) is in place they will start losing a lot of revenue.

Why do you think that Liberal want to do fibre to the node and then copper to the house - so you can't get fast internet.  Guess who is a major sponsor of the liberal party... you guessed it... News Corp.

Understand The Age but not Fox Sports (Even though I hardly visit it), Foxtel subscribers should get Fox Sports free anyway.

Why not just increase the price of advertisements? They would get crazy amount of hits...

Which is why I use news.com.au, which is free.....for now

[Capper]

Has it been lifted??

There's a reason news.com.au is free.

Because it is not news.
