yes, but other advertisers will just fill the space.

dont watch it and their numbers go down, and then no one wants to buy advertising space then.

You can't record FTA TV?

I haven't been following this thread, and I don't understand you, what your getting at?

The game is on @ 3.00pm.

Is there anyone in NSW who can put channel 7 on some ustream channel for the match because I am pretty sure it's going live into Sydney.

No... we in Sydney are getting the delayed coverage as well. The reason it's starting at 3pm is because there's live coverage of touring car racing that's timed to finish at 3pm. This isn't the first time that this has happened - I recall a similar situation a few years ago - the difference then was that they went live to the AFL and so we missed almost a full half of the game.

Being a Sunday afternoon game Channel 7 has to play thier mandatory Sunday Afternoon Elvis Presley movie...usually it's Blue Hawaii or It happened at the Worlds Fair..

I'll be in Perth for a wedding so whist working off the hangover i'll watch most of the Dees live then head to Subiaco to watch Freo and the Kangas...

Not a bad sunday coming up!

HaHaHa, fantastic. HeaveHo, HiHo, Freo!

To Broadcast in HD costs more money...More Ads. The TV stations only make money during september. The Home and Away they only go close to Breaking even.

So as bad as it is Ch 7 will run ads to the max as much as they liked because the Footy cost them a lot.

The next Broadcast deal could be worse if it hits a $ Billion. (That is a lot of 30 second spots)

Thanks WYL for bringing some knowledge and common sennse to this emotional thread.

I for one DO Not, want Pay TV. It's not what I grew up with and I don't believe its the Austrtalian egalitarian way. There would be many who could not afford to buy pay tv, so would miss many games.

I won't get it on principle, and don't like anything about ch9 anyway. They always white-anted other channels personel and tv shows etc, and try to make themselves out as not only the one, but the only one.. Buying allegences.

I coudn't stand old packer, nor his son.

Now the same goes for e,d. mmm.

here e,d try this, you seem to need it lately! >>> http://www.amiaustra...taxonomy/term/7

Whenever Channel 7 or 10 delay the footy I simply delay it a further 40 minutes and fast forward all their ads and half time coverage. I absolutely refuse to watch ads if they choose to delay the footy. It's that simple.

Channel 9 will be exactly the same as 7 and 10 and frankly I don't think you can blame any of the stations. Imagine paying that much for the rights and then having to telecast the round 1 St Kilda V Geelong game. If that game was live Channel 7 would've lost a fortune 12 goals (6 mins of ads) in 100 minutes of TV/football would destroy any profit.

No... we in Sydney are getting the delayed coverage as well. The reason it's starting at 3pm is because there's live coverage of touring car racing that's timed to finish at 3pm. This isn't the first time that this has happened - I recall a similar situation a few years ago - the difference then was that they went live to the AFL and so we missed almost a full half of the game.

I remember a similar situation where I tuned into the delayed coverage and for the first half they just ran highlights for 10 minutes then flicked to live coverage when the second half started....

I wonder what sort of TV you get for a lazy Billion?

TV times

Melbourne: Channel 7, 3.00 pm (1 hr delay)

Adelaide: Channel 7, 1.30 pm (live)

NSW: Channel 7, 3.00 pm (1 hr delay)

QLD: Channel 7, 3.00 pm (1 hr delay)

live into adelaide. what a disgrace.

Be grateful the game is even on free to air TV! The dees hardly rate for these games ever!
