Not that fussed about classic matches.
I'd like some new international content. Probably in a minority there but I'd find new material more interesting than rehashed games from years past.

There's room for both. Foxtel have a lot of airspace to fill with this thing, would be great if they were adventurous with it.

From memory, wasn't Foxes first afl channel a failure? Even with that unlogical Victorianian passion a fox footy channel failed.
The 24 hour channel is more evolution then revolution. We virtually had a League channel last year. They are mainly building on that and not having much of a shake up. I think as we go further along there will be tweaks, some shows will go and new ideas will come. I'm not to fussed at how it is for now

they had to pay an extra fee to watch it and not enough people bought it so then they made it free for everyone and upped up all Foxtel's customers monthly charge

What would have been a great idea is have more classic games and have those players involved talk about it..it appears this is not the case.
I would love a a NFL/NBA style doco that went through a building of a team. Done properly, like a 2 hour doco. Take the panthers first premiership, have people like gould, Simmons, sheens talk about the early years of the club, how they struggled, then go through the build-up years, introduce guy's like Alexander, Cartwright, geyer as the start talking about making the finals and then Finally bring back Gus, introduce Freddy, talk about the premiership run, the gf and then finish on the aftermath and how they fell apart the next year. Have these kind of stories about dynasties like parra, raiders, broncos or about premiership fairy tales like the tigers in 05 or about drama filled teams like origin 1995 or bulldogs 1995

When they first launched it they only had the rights to 4 games live. the rest were shown as replays it was ment to boost pay tv sales in Victoria but wasn't done the right way. The channel died then was rebooted when Fox got the rights to show everything live.

Tonights lineup:

6:30 - NRL360
7:30 - On The Couch with Sterlo
8:30 - NRL360
9:30 - On The Couch with Sterlo
10:30 - NRL360
11:30 - On The Couch with Sterlo

Fair enough the season is yet to kick off but do we really need 3 back-to-back replays? I'm sure they'll be re-run all day tomorrow as well.

the repetitiveness such as the tv schedule listed above is a good way to cure insomnia. If only Fox had NRL360 back-to-back for 5 hours, lol!

Of course the drunk merkin has no problem with potential match fixing. It's how he finds his alcoholism
