Sports Tonight pisses me off

I'm forced to sit through 10 minutes of AFL news before they move onto the rugby league. They really need to get their priorities straight. Don't they know what the major football code is in this state?

Channel Ten shares the FTA rights to AFL.
Channel Ten broadcasts Sports Tonight
It seems to me that they have indeed got their priorities right - they are going to give prominence to their own product over that of a rival sport which is broadcast on a rival station.

It sucks, but that's life.

You are no hope of seeing the NRL highlights first if its on 10. They don't give a dam about NRL.

Well obviously they are going to talk up the sport they've invested big dollars in first rather then one thats broadcasted by their rivals.

EA I honestly dont know how people live without it, I'd rather go without hot water during footy season then without foxtel.

You do realise that sports Tonight goes across Australia.

It also happens on the sunday morning sports show on Channel 7. They have no TV rights to AFL. So that blows the promoting their product argument out of the water.
