Ashes 2009 TV coverage?

[Medievalknight]

Yeah pretty much. Looking forward to it. Be quite a bit of cricket on FTA this year. The Ashes and the IPL.

Also will Channel 9 be showing Australia's involvement in the World Twenty20 or is that once again all bloody Fox?

Stop being a tight arse Ian and subscribe

The SBS coverage was decent last time around and should be again.

They're very professional and effecient at sports coverage.

 

[griffo346]

are they having the ODI series too?

 

[Timmah]

I dare say that will be just FOX Sports.

 

[griffo346]

f**k me they managed to do dual FTA last time with 7 having the ODIS so i hope 10 pick it up

funky miller and tony squires in the studio would be tops with kerry o

Well when I first heard about it I heard that SBS were doing the lot this time round.

 

[Timbo]

SBS's coverage will be identical to Fox's in all likelyhood.

Last time, SBS picked up Channel 4's coverage whilst Fox picked up Sky Sports. Channel 4 no longer covers the cricket in the UK, it's Sky only. So unless SBS do their own set up, they'll be identical.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Warne is joining the Sky team in England for the whole series.

 

[IanG]

Well he did alright with his stint for 9.

Though I dare say SBS's Coverage wont include the One off ODI vs Scotland.
