I suppose at least I have ABC2; only costs less than $100 to get a set top box; that's the only payment you need to make.

Yeah I heard it 3 months ago.
Basically when Fox Sports 3 was announced it was going to happen, its making a big loss.
It was a much better channel in the older days, I only watch it now if there's a life AFL game on when FTA is showing Port or Crows crap.

Very sharp Mr66.
I'd have to say though that I would rate KG and Cornesy as 50 stories higher in the food chain of journalism than Graeme Archer from TodayTonight.

Very dissapointing. Was probably better back in 02 when it first started, but it still had some excellent shows on like Headliners, White Line Fever and Saturday Central has been decent this year.
Im gonna miss it during off season.

Apparently seven and 10 have turned to SBS to see if they'd be interested.
Interesting call for the 'ethnic' broadcaster.

Official, official. The word is that Foxtel will release a new channell they will call Fox Sports 3 on which they will play AFL games on if they can get Channel 7 & 10 to sell them some games. Whether we may still see the SANFL games of the round replayed is unknown.

Foxtel CEO told fox footy staff he cant be sure that their jobs are safe after AFL GF day and perhaps they should starting looking for new ones
