I've aggregated the themes from my participant interviews, and they have coalesced into the following emergent themes, which will be used as the basis for document analysis, and later as possible chapter headings in the thesis:
- Changes in Consumption and New Industry Players (29 themes)
- Broadcast Rights, Their Value, and Negotiation (19 themes)
- Regulation (17 themes)
- Stakeholder Relationships (13 themes)
- Business Performance including metrics (13 themes)
- Sport, Culture, and Television (10 themes)
Additionally, participants were asked for their normative views on the following topics:
- Entrepreneurialism
- Regulation
This is exciting, because for the first time, I feel like I can see a structure emerging to the data analysis.
A caveat to the thematic aggregations, is that many themes overlap, and the quantification of themes does not always represent the qualitative veracity of themes. (i.e., a theme might be low in numbers, but strong in concentration).

With no football on television on Friday nights, I'm at a real loss with what to do with myself.
The same goes for the other days, but it feels especially pronounced on Friday's, because a lot of that day is spent in anticipation building towards the start of the round, the end of the working week, and the start of the weekend.
Cricket hasn't really captured my attention yet, and I've been either watching other content such as Netflix, playing video games, or trying to get by with NBL or A-League on a Friday night.

A few weeks ago, I won the Clubperson of the Year Award at the 2019 Hunter AFL Masters Presentation Night.
Obviously very humbling, and heaps of recognition needs to go towards Alex Holness and the committee for making this year what it has been.
It's amazing to think my name will be on that trophy for a long time. I've told them however that I won't be seeking reappointment to the committee next year, as I want to focus on the PhD, and AFL Masters National.
I might write another blog post that reflects on the whole year in Hunter AFL Masters, because from an AFL participation perspective, it's been quite unlike any other year.x
