Franchise round 2012
From Network Six Wiki
The 2012 Franchise Round is the process of re-assigning the 18 regional and 4 national franchises of the NetworkSix television network. It will take place between January and February 2012.
The bidding process continues to use the format first implemented in 2010, with a 4-phase weekly process to maintain the highest possible interest in all franchises.
The 2012 round sees the first since 2009 to not include SSN, which has been phased out and all sports content shown on the main network will be controlled by network control.
