What I don't get is why channel 9 even have the exclusive rights to this game. It wasn't even around when they signed the last broadcast deal.
At a guess, it is probably in the contract that nine get exclusive live broadcast rights to all representative games and the all stars game is a representative fixture.
One thing is clear, maintaining status quo with the games broadcasters cannot and will not be allowed to happen. I don't expect us to get a perfect result with nine going and all games live, but significant improvements in coverage and scheduling must occur.
