For the third week in a row, those of us living in Northern Queensland are screwed over by both Austar/Foxtel and Channel 7....Both of the stations have decided that living in Queensland that you must support the Bears, so we have the game live on both channels now...Austar has the Melbourne game on at 8pm, an edited version that runs for two hours, whilst Channel 7 has decided that midnight is a good time to replay the game, in its entirety i might add.......I am so sick of this crap being dished out to people living in regional areas....

I am fuming about the same thing here in Sydney - what is the point in having the same game on both chanels??? Who can I write to??

Thats absolute garbage by both channels & the AFL. So much for the crap promises made to the AFL by channel 7 & co. Send a message to the AFL & complain.

Jeez, I thought this thread was going to be all about the yellow maggots!

im on the sunny coast and had to stream it thru bigpond, but its not the same. the coverage is complete bs to people in qld unless you are a lions supporter. well done afl and ch7 you are losing followers of this once great game in which you have ruined with poor coverage and crappy rule changes. im calling it gay-FL like the other league wankers coz im starting to believe them. sheer stupidity at its best.

The Brisbane v Fremantle game was a designated Fox game.

And Seven piggy backed the feed into Sydney and Brisbane and wherever else there was a double up.

The same thing happened last night with the Swans being broadcast on both Ten and Fox.

Yep, this broadcast rights situation is working a treat up here :angry: !!!
