Foxtel..hmmm

[Holla if ya hear me]

Only 2 games on a saturday nite is really ticking me off. plus we have lots the viewers choice..ref sound..crowd sound and camera views..hmmm..dont want to leave the pub at 9:15 instead of 11..grrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

should read....plus we have LOST the viewers chioce....

 

[gunnamatta bay]

We need four more new teams to makeup for 2 games Friday night and Monday night footie. :sarcasm:

 

[Inferno]

We had all that stuff for the 5:30 game.

 

[Timmah]

I love morons going off half-cocked.

Viewers choice - only happens when two Sat 7:30pm games are scheduled. Only offers the choice of which game to watch.

Live & Active - applies usually to the 5:30pm match (last night being Dragons v Cowboys).

This weekend the FINA World C'ships meant the Storm Warriors game had to be moved to Sunday.

Next week will see two Sat 7:30pm games as well as the Live & active 5:30pm.

Swimming, coupled with poor organising by the NRL/Fox/9.

 

[gunnamatta bay]

Yep I can confirm that.

 

[Timmah]

The scheduling was sh*thouse by the NRL.

Storm Warriors should've been a Nein game.

 

[brooksy19]

We all know they do it 6 weeks in advance.. Its round 3, so they were just guessing.

But we can thank News Ltd's ownership for that... Yep Super League was great.

 

[Timmah]

It's rolled out actually brooksy, at one point we'll know 11 weeks in advance.

We currently know as far as R9. By midweek we'll know Rounds 10-11 and after that 12-13.

 

[brooksy19]

Still, not ideal.

 

[Timmah]

Ideal would be doing it the AFL way - full season ahead of time.

Won't happen as long as half the board is appointed by the games PTV broadcaster...

 

[Timmah]

Exactly right...

But in that vain, how does it benefit them not knowing a full year ahead?

I have no idea to be honest, as it seems that cable RL rates its pants off regardless of the match, but that'd be their logic. Some guy at a Fox Studios office is probably feeding match results into some arcane machine to come up with the FoxSports schedule.

I only just got Live and Active switched on. I wasn't that impressed actually, slow to load, hard to navigate, not particularly useful IMO.

I agree that this is clearly the match of the round but i dont blame nine in the slightest for not broadcasting it. Two out of sydney team would draw a very poor tv crowd into sydney.

 

[Timmah]

I'd be glued to it if I had Fox at work :lol:
