Next TV deal discussion 2028 -

[Perth Red]

The 6pm Friday game and TV controlling game-scheduling are the same problem.

Work patterns may have changed, but every club bar Warriors will still draw lower at 6pm than 8pm.

Problem is there are only so many individual tv slots. If you’re not playing a game Friday 6pm when are you playing. Arguably Monday nights were worse for attending than friday.

Why let TV companies demand a separate timeslot for every single game? AFL don't.

Schedule two Friday 8pm games. Nine and Fox bid for one game each. Genuine competitive tendering.
