Harold Mitchell Quotations

There is no doubt that this is a bonanza for AFL generally.

Nine will need to seriously rebuild to maintain their premium. But more than anything, this is a great result for Seven. The momentum is clearly with them and it has continued into the start of this year with the tennis, which is again proving a great promotional platform for upcoming programs.

Nine will find a way back - it's very dangerous for a network to start reducing its rates.

But it's not something we would ever be able to do... unfortunately there are many things that could be done with vast sums of money like this.

I was in Sydney on Saturday morning and saw all the papers and soaked it all up, then I got to the airport and thought gee, this is amazing. Even the Krispy Kreme doughnut people had put red and white tops on their take-away packs.

It certainly is a status symbol and it's big for the winner.

The problem is they still haven't got the whole thing together online. When it comes to real estate ads, they still haven't got an offer together where ads go online and in the newspaper.

Event TV is still fun to view, but it could probably do with a reduction in time.

It's about the best thing I can think of,

I don't like the idea of shutting the thing down, and tearing it down is just adding insult to injury. It's a beautiful plant.
