Channel 9's Disgraceful coverage of finals

[Surandy]

yep, they changed it originally to bring it forward to 11.25, and then today they've decided to show friggen White Chicks, meaning the game is pushed back until 12.10 again.
Where's the NRL on this one??

Hmm, no Nein I don't think it's in yet, would it help if I bent over?

 

[Ice777]

Anyone know what radio station/s will be broadcasting the game online? I'm going to the Docklands to watch it but one of my mates has to work and will only be able to listen to it online.

Absolutely disgusting broadcast of the game last night. 1st add break was 8mins into the game which had 9 ads in it, then it just continued on from there, it was no different to there broadcasting of the 2nd friday night game. Steve Crawley was on BSB earlier this week & promised that there would not be as long an intro, long ad breaks or half time break. What a load of hogwash, yes the half time break wasn't as long but not by much. How dare the NRL allow this to happen. :x

Welcome to the wonderful world of the NRL where contracts saying 9 has to show all finals live don't mean a thing.

Isin't that right David.

I agree, the NRL are a bunch of softcocks when it comes to broadcasting. They let our game be treated like a second rate pastime. Need some NRL staff with a big pair of nuts between their legs that don't get walked on.

what do you mean??

a contract is a contract!!!:roll:

well, thats what Gallop applied to SBW right?

 

[Hari Kari]

The ads pissed me off. One of the major drawbacks of a delayed game.

Let's hope MR Gallop and his men can enforce the contract in the future no matter what situation is thrown at them.

4 minute long ad breaks sucked bigtime.

I'd have been happier having more ad breaks but shorter, give you the feeling of a live game kind of.

the telecast:

9th minute - 11 adds
18th min - 10 adds
30th min - 10 adds
H/T - 9 adds
47th min - 10 adds
57th min - 9 adds
75th min - 9 adds

FMD that was disgraceful from Nine.

Apparantly 9 gave the NRL a very good excuse not to show the game live. :lol:

FMD the more I think about it the more of a joke the NRL really is.

[gong_eagle]

so what time did it actually finish ?
10:45 or so I guess

 

[wittyfan]

Pretty close to 10.

 

[gong_eagle]

Pretty close to 10.

2 1/2 hours for a 80 min game :roll:

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

What time was the warriors game beamed into 'non-heartland states'? and what time will tonight's game be shown in Melbourne (i remember it WAS going to be live, but that Astra article says different'

 

[Shorty]

Tim and LS,are you seriously telling me you like delayed telecasts?
Are you for real?
I guess you like getting your armpits waxed then,too.

9 Is an absolute joke,if I(a hardcore league fan) lose interest watching delayed games,what the hell do they think it's doing for promotion?

 

[Ice777]

and what time will tonight's game be shown in Melbourne (i remember it WAS going to be live, but that Astra article says different'

Try and work this out because i sure as f**k can't. At the start of the week they had the movie Take the lead at 7.30pm, an encore episode of Fringe at 9.55pm, Seinfeld at 11.25pm and then the game at 11.50pm.

Now fro whatever reason nobody knows they have Take the lead at 7.30pm, the movie White Chicks at 9.50pm and then the game at 12.10am! So instead after many Storm fans including myself rang up channel 9 to complain about it not going live, they go and push it back even later instead of earlier. I'm going to one of only the 2 live sites in Melbourne to watch it but that doesn't help the ones that can't make it does it.

Maybe we shouldn't have complained and it might've gone on earlier :sarcasm:
