    Just shows how great the effect the man has had on the code in the last 35 years he was at SBS
    Think it has more to do with the current government cutting their budget. Not to mention government appointed consultants who are turning them into a commercial entity at the expense of their charter.

    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.

    They have Mel - no brainer.

    Her and Tara together on the sideline on a Friday night would make me spurt somewhat.

    .
    It was designated to cover football from its inception as it is linked largely to its multicultural programmimg.

    I sat and watched the test pattern for a week in anticipation.

    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)
