I've heard bigger figures that that mentioned by people involved in the SS, but either way it's a decent chunk of cash to be shelling out to get the game on tv.Originally Posted by boz-monaut
As for the ABC pulling out, there's the same dire warnings re the SS every year, or at least there has been for the last 3 or 4 years, so I tend to take it with a grain of salt. Having said that, given the ABC has dropped live WNBL and W League coverage maybe this will be the year the SS finally gets cut. Doesn't help the State League if Aunty is cutting back on coverage of other niche sports though, quite aside from the fact that the major sponsor is a competitor.
I would think that the NSW Premier League would be the competition to get a look in on ABC before we ever did. I think the idea that NBN could put a highlights package together for a weekly spot on one of their three channels would be a great idea!
