This is very good news and could not have come at a better time for the code.

Global sports broadcasting giant ESPN has told the NRL it wants to be at the table when the code opens its new television rights negotiations later this year in a move that could have major ramifications on the future of Fox Sports.
With Fox Sports, which on Wednesday announced up to 20 job cuts in its news division, already concerned about losing subscribers should the NRL be forced to call of its season due to the coronavirus pandemic, news of ESPN's interest in entering the market place could not have come at a worse time.
If it means the end of Murdoch's gouging business model for Foxtel than I'm all for it.
