Did anyone see the Sun Hearld today? It said in it's backpage column that it is possible that 6 Radio Stations including an FM Station could be doing League this year.

At first I had to look 2 times to make sure it said this year but it did. Apprently 2GB is looked at scaling back there coverage this year ( :roll: ) and don't want to pay as much for it's final year.

It also says 2SM has put in a offer and 2UE are putting in a proposal this week.

2GB has changed its slot times so the morning show will not start until 10am and I believe that Hadley has decided that that extra hour of sleep he'll get a day convinced him to continue to call league.

How could they scale back :?

They call bugger all games.

There was a story in the Smellygraph this week.
The parrot will be broadcasting for an extra hour to 10am and Hadley will broadcast from 10 to 1pm to try and combat John Laws on 2ue. They also mentioned it also meant Hadley will continue with the footy broadcasting :(

Thankfully I only cop him if I'm in the car while the footys on....generally to and from my sons own games.
Like Peter Peters, he is a nob but theyre talking footy (in between all there other crap) so what do you do?

That'd be gold Moffo. Reckon ABC could get kerry in as a guest commentator?
ABC owns all other stations when it comes to league coverage. 6 games a week and the other one is blocked from being covered.

I just don't understand why anyone listens to Ray Hadley. But then, I've never understood why the Footy Show is so popular either. They're both crap and the ABC shits on them both.

It sounds great but they better not all broadcast the same game or cut out games that they call for 20minutes then go somewhere else.

2SM have the platform with Graeme Hughes at the helm to absolutely demolish the pathetic tripe we've had to put up with over the last few years.

even if they use a similar line up to their week day show, which includes non leaguies Gav Robertson and Texas Walker and former first grader Jim Smith they know more about the then Hadley ever will.

From the Ad I just heard during Andrew Moore's great show, it conflicts with the report. Said the CC Team would be back All Weekend, Every Weekend in 2005.

I would love to hear Graheme Hughes again

loved his common terms of "Unbeleivable" "Oh what a try, oh stunning"

and my favourite "Jonnnnnnnnnnnes" when stacey made a line break
