Channel 7 announced by SANFL as preferred telecast partner

[The Sleeping Giant]

ffs

The major networks now have digital channels needing content, whether that be V8 Supercars, cricket, or state league football.

Reading across 3 pages of whinging without knowing any of the major details now has me convinced.

Most of you lot will complain about anything!

Cool, bring back Peter Marker and Ian Day to call the games too!

When they commentated for 7 thirty years ago, the call sign of the station was ADS- channel 7 became the current channel 10 around 1987, when the 2 stations swapped call signs (I think it was connected with Christopher Skase's media ownership changes in the Eastern states).

So if we were to get some old SAS (channel 10 up to '87) sporting "identities", we'd probably finish up with Max Stevens and Andrew Kay

What is wrong with the ABC coverage?

If ch7 showing state league football relies on the crows reserves playing, then its a load of crap.

.

You mean part from their not wanting to do it?

beenreal even you can not be stupid enough not to see through this.
Just wait for the next announcements ..... oh btw the Crows would have to be in the SANFL so we get the required sponsors ..... FFS the bloody Crows have said they have sponsors lined up. Would they still line up these mysterious sponsors if the Crow's bid fails ?

We prefer commentary of the football as opposed to moon weather reports.

Maybe u were watchin it on FOXTEL it definitely was not live on Channel 7, as I was coming from the Airport it was live on radio not on free to air tv.

You had a TV in your car ? If you did you would have watched Carlton v Fremantle like we did in our lounge room on Channel 7 !

Maybe he saw on TV at home what he'd already heard on the radio an hour earlier in he car.

[SDK]

He watched the replay to see if Carlton won this time ?

At least with ABC coverage, interstate viewers can see a game live on ABC1 TV (satellite), replayed a couple days later on ABC iView and also replayed on Thursday morning on ABC1 TV.

I cant see Channel 7 (or 7TWO or 7Mate) televising a game live nationally let alone replaying on national TV.

The so-called preferred option by the SANFL is lead to a reduction in potential viewer numbers.

If they're smart, one of them (Eddie's mob, SANFL, Channel 7) will introduce a 'you can see it anytime and any place you want, including live streaming, if you pay us a few $' model for interstate/overseas fans. I'd certainly pay (to see Norwood games) if it was anything short of outrageously extortionate. As a backup option, there's no reason for them not to do the equivalent of what the ABC currently do, and replay it on 7Mate at 3 in the morning (or some other off-peak time) one day during the week so fans can just set their devices.

The chances of anyone being smart, on the other hand...
