f**k me dead.

At least 7 had the common sense to dump Today Tonight and have Home & Away after their one hour news - it ends up raping ACA in the ratings so what possible excuse can 9 have for still airing that shit?

ACA has been beating it in the ratings and it's incredibly cheap to make (because it's utter crap).

if you post the link to the Courier Mail article on 9's facebook page they delete it

how pathetic

they also have not replied to the numerous people complaining

they reply to other crap, but not to criticism about delayed games

The NRL App is awesome but I'm pissed I can't watch the games that Nine show when it's not live into Queensland.

What a joke.

I really hope this backfires onto these merkins and they get shit ratings for all delayed games. Thank f**k Foxtel games aren't delayed on the app

In summery, Nine are merkins of the highest order

Got to protect the News, pricks should be forced to give it to fox if they aren't going to show it live.

Nine is a dinosaur of a station, they have zero respect for live sport and it's value in today's market.

I can almost guarantee you they lost ratings with their decision today. They are a fuddy-duddy, behind the times organisation who has absolutely no idea the quickly changing face of tv.

Live sport is the only thing that will save TV in the future.

Yet Ch9 treat live sport as a pariah.

They are doomed.

It is almost a fait accompli they lose the NRL rights simply because they are clueless about the importance of the only thing that will save them.

so they advertised during the game today that the final would be live

i have my doubts though as 9 are usually full of shit

Gyngell already lied about HD and that Crawley bloke is another tosser who treats viewers with contempt

Late in the second half of todays game, at a time when it was obvious Australia was going to win and play in next weeks final. they run an advert for the final without identifying which channel it was going to be shown on.

Teams: New Zealand vs Australia
Venue: Westpac Stadium, Wellington, New Zealand. Capacity 34,500
Date: Saturday November 15th 2014
Kick-off time: 8.45pm local time

So it appears it will be live, at least in Sydney anyway.

Advertised for 5.30 QLD, worrying considering the News is usually on at 6 and we all know how important their news is, the need for the lead in to it today was the sole reason for delaying the game.

I have a feeling that under the anti-syphoning laws they have to show the final live.

I won't be surprised if it goes to GEM in NSW/QLD, if this was AFL, it wouldn't be on a secondary channel in Melbourne.

Yeah, I was extremely surprised Ch9 we're going to show the final live into QLD at 5:30pm, hence overlapping with the 6pm news bulletin slot. like you, I too have my doubt whether or not they will do that
