Channel 9 not keen on going live for Melbourne Storm's blockbusters or any NRL finals

[joel caine number 1 fan]

not even showing it on GEM like they did for Union?

no csi is on there apparently american shows are more important than ausse sport :roll:

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

Storm v knights will be shown live in Melbourne

9 said they arent running anything up against afl so its very doubtful

The Notebook is a poorly-written, cliche-riddled romantic comedy aimed at soft-c**ks who are so subservient to women that they watch garbage like that... which means it's perfect for Victorians.

:lol: so true

Finals are a Tier B sport so 9 could ask for an exemption but obviously the Victorians in charge do not want it shown

might upset their AFL pals

Tell me if i'm wrong, but isnt eddie mcguire being an afl president and being able to influence 9 scheduling a massive conflict of interest? Couldn't the NRL call them out on this?

what about this?

The NRL could do lots of things, maybe one day they will when they grow some balls.

Any confirmation either way, whether Storm finals games will be shown live into melbourne? A disgrace if they are not

It will probably be shown live in Melbourne since its on a Sunday afternoon, as it has been previous years.

Their Week 2 or 3 finals being shown live is a bit more questionable.

According to the advanced guide, the 4th qualifying final will be shown in Melbourne at 12:25am

The Sunday afternoon Storm vs. Knights final will be up against Carlton vs. Essendon Elimination Final at the MCG. No chance Storm game will be broadcast live.

So what will they broadcast instead that will be such a ratings winner in the face of the all conquering afl tv product?

 

[Pete Cash]

Maybe they can broadcast some old episodes of Alf and confuse some Victorians into watching.

Going on past form there are about 50K of them.

Won't be ALF mate, that was being shown on 7two late last year.

It'll be green acres, bewitched, I dream of genie or antiques road show.

na alf is awesome it will be some 1930s movie that they replay every week

12:25am is the time for thew storm game and they have a tba at 9:30 pm

 

[docbrown]

Put it on Digital.

No excuses.

I also recommend storm fans to make as many "CHANNEL NINE SUCKS" posters as possible to scatter them so most cameras are forced to broadcast them. You saw with LOL@50UFF$ that it works.

Also if you see Vossy, feel free to abuse the gimp.
