Tara. So hot.
I tend to agree. ALeague on sbs > aleague on 7
Apparently SBS have signed some new advertising deals for the A-league coverage which have enabled them to purchase more content from foxsports. Hence the saturday night games. I would imagine if they rate well, which if they like friday hold up 100K+ ratings they would become regular, depends on the impact on fox's ratings too I suppose.
Actually all is well with this as besides getting the product out there to a wider market than Foxtel the ratings will assist convincing the likes of Nine and Ten and Seven etc to actually make serious bids next time the TV Rights are up as they may be able to squeeze more than 100k out with their much wider market share.
Even if none of them get the rights the more that bid the greater deal we get
I think that there might be a possibility of Seven picking up the rights next time around.
Losing the V8's means all they have will be the AFL. This leaves them with a gaping hole in their schedule with no sport to fill it in the summer.
Nein has the cricket and league, Ten is now wall to wall motorsport.
If Seven does end up with ALeague, it might actually force them to treat the sport properly rather than bury it or ignore it completely (unless its the WC). This in turn might get more of the mainstream media on our side.
They had their chance and they shit on the game, the players, and the fans.
Based on what happened in the past Channel Seven should NEVER be given the rights to broadcast any A-league matches.
On one hand I fully agree with you. 7 Shit on the game and deserve nothing for that.
End of the day though we need to get the game wanted by mainstream TV to grow it. If it happens to be 7 then we just have to grin and bear it for the good of the code despite how undeserving those pricks are
Football shouldn't even be on tv.
go to the ground.
Should do what the MLS do and have a blackout in the area the game is on for the live game, increase those attending the game.
Choked when I saw this on Pennant Hills Road yesterday...

Will try to get in at 9am as I anticipate it could get hot and sticky by 3pm.

While the decision has not been finalised, Fairfax Media understand the network's content division recently concluded that SBS's 35-year relationship with football – among Australian television's most iconic – should be scaled back dramatically.
Les Murray at SBS - Football Constantly Showed.
Les calls time and retires - They can't wait to ship it out the door.
Just shows how great the effect the man has had on the code in the last 35 years he was at SBS
Give it to Channel 10
Mel and tara phwooaaaaar
Wouldn't mint gilly and punter commentating the Friday night HAL
can't wait for channel 9 to get the rights to the world cup and only show 1/10th of the matches.
Nah.
SBS understands that it is no longer going to be able to compete with other media outlets for the rights to big sporting events without raising the ire of taxpayers.
FFS the ABC and SBS were in a ****ing bidding war over the Asian cup games? Why are 2 taxpayer funded stations competing (and driving the price up) for the same thing?
SBS isn't a sports station, was never designed to be, but took advantage of the lack of focus from commercial TV on soccer.
It no longer has that advantage, the popularity of the national team/a-league/overseas leagues means that everyone wants a go at it.
It is no longer a fringe sport, and that's what we all want yeah? We want our game to become what it should be. Well with that comes the fact that for premium content comes a premium price.
Oz public just has to get used to paying for thier big events.
Rightly or wrongly that's how the world works now.
The commentary team on 7 or 10 if like All stars games is sure to be atrocious
A bit of education for the young guys.

The first ever live broadcast of a national football final, 35 years ago.
Vale SBS...Forza Mr and Mrs Football.
Back passes and keepers with no gloves. Times have changed.
Now Ten are showing interest, "at the right price"

They have Mel - no brainer.
Her and Tara together on the sideline on a Friday night would make me spurt somewhat.
Spurs vs Smurfs on channel 7.

Sam pang on afl 360 :angry: :slap:
yeah, pretty sure it's written in the fine print.
I don't think it was a regular thing, he's apparently hosting an after game gathering this week.
he tried to be funny, but robbo just kept dragging him down. god I hate robbo (the guy on TV, not the guy on the foz)
