What do people think of the coverage so far. I thought it might be better, what with Ch 9 and 10 as well as Fox Footy covering it but so far it's disappointing.
When I was living in a rural area with Austar and C7 we at least used to get Friday night footy live. Now it's Ch 9 at 8.30pm when the game is already half over. Fox Footy can't show it until later.
Queensland, NSW and NT are worse off than before. An arrangement has now been made for them to get Fox Footy coverage a bit earlier on some games than they would with FTA, but that's only good for those with Pay TV.

 I was wondering whether I should tell you they won last night but you beat me to it. One of my sons had to play footy, but we heard the half time scores on the way home which didn't really inspire me to watch it when we got home.

Well after a bad start to the year the FoxAFL feed into the NT changed from SA to Vic on Friday night which means we will get live games of the 2 SA teams.
So instead of only 4-5 more games for the season we should have a live game every week or at worst miss out on 1 or 2.
As for Friday night footy we get the game starting at 8:00pm so it's delayed but should mean the Collingwood game will be live.

About TV coverage of the Afl, I am stuck in Perth until july and the coverage here is so bad. The time difference is bad enough, but they would rather cover crappy bottom victorian team games than anything from Adelaide. I just hope Port and Brisbane being the match of the round is shown here instead of the match from victoria....... |

I think it will be great hearing Ed whinge for the rest of the year as Collingwood do their yearly slide into the bottom half of the ladder........... ;D I thought it was interesting to hear this week that the $500 million media deal wasn't what we were led to believe last year. Apparently it is $380 million to the AFL with the other $120 million being used up in promoting the game by the stations........that's a fair bit of money that could have been well used.......  I bet we won't hear Eddie talking that up......... Our TV deal in the NT improved last week after a lot of lobbying as the Pay TV feed we receive changed from SA to Vic which means we should only miss out on 1-2 more live/slight delayed games.........compared to the 4-5 games we would have received had the change not occur as the SA feed had no live games of either SA side. Not looking forward to when the World Cup and Wimbledon happen as we only have the 1 free to air station showing footy........  |
