Channel 9 starts the year in breach of contract

[joshie]

This all gives me a headache. I just want 9 to be out of the game forever!

Channel 9's response to my please explain about the hour delay in QLD:

Hey Tom, thanks for the post. All home games are played live in their respective states. For more info on schedules check out - http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/

I don't know why they even bothered replying.

 

[El Diablo]

should ask them why they lied as they never show Melbourne live in Vic when they have a 9 game

 

[Perth Red]

1.15am in perth. Or live down the Paddo on Imparja!

 

[Perth Red]

Agree Juan.

Delayed football on TV in this day and age is a joke!
It would be better to kick-off the Knights game at 8pm NSW time, which would be 7pm Qld time.
Then Nein could show the game live in Qld.

But that would be too simple.

I noticed the game in perth in a couple of weeks is KO at 6pm Perth time, presumably for live or near to coverage on the East Coast.

How many watch the NRL in Melbourne though?? same number most likley of those who watch the Swans game on tv in Sydney.

nothing changes with this mob

what has Gallop got to say?

How lucky are you in Melbourne as you will know the score and dont have to watch it live like we have to in NSW/QLD to find out

For anyone in Melbourne wanting to watch the game live, it is on at The College Lawn Hotel, Prahran.

Tempting. I just wanna watch some footy!

i see that there are a lot of complaints and questions on both the WWOS and Channel 9 facebook pages http://www.facebook.com/wideworldofsports?sk=wall&filter=1 http://www.facebook.com/Channel9?sk=wall&filter=1

none of them have had a reply from 9 explaining why they won't show it on GEM or even why it's not on till AFTER the The Footy Show

too many Victorians at 9

Who knows? Bit hard to say when they never show it!

Last Year:
The only 3 times they showed it on a Sunday it rated 37K,50K&87k

It's a bit hard to build an audience when you only show something 3 times in 7 months!

The prelim final featuring Melbourne and shown live rated 274K.
The Wk2 final featuring Swans rated 136k

In comparison the Swans avg 30-80k In sydney, pretty much the same but the difference being they are shown every week.

In terms of GF:
Sydney got 287K for AFL
Melbourne got 347K for NRL

Melbourne also got 3 audiences around the 300k for SOO

Overall you would have to say NRL rates better in Melbourne than AFL in Sydney, despite the shoddy treatment of Ch9

Imagine if RL was given a go and well looked after by 9 (or hopefully 7 or 10 in future).

wtf thats almost unbelieveable! Its like they don't even read the post, which I'm sure they do for most but I would have thought someone famous asking would prompt them to actually read it! I mean, they act as if league is not something he's interested in watching and instead promote their other shit shows, as if he had asked what the schedule was! FMFD they make me angry.

FMD seriously? It's like a course on how to not run a television station.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

That reply is like saying "no we're not running the league. Don't like it? Tough shit"
