I was just having a look at some of the other footy supporter sites and noticed that Rhett Bartlett who works at FOXTEL has been posting on Bomber Blitz with information about the new FOX Footy Channel which begins on February 17th, 2012. The thread was started to provide information and get feedback about the new channel and I thought it might be worthwhile posting some of the FAQ's and responses that have been provided to date: When will the channel launch ? February 17 2012 How many games will you be showing ? We will be broadcasting every game of the AFL Premiership season, live, in HD and uninterrupted siren to siren. The same goes for Finals matches (excluding GF which will be on delay) Will I pay extra for the channel ? The channel will be part of the existing Sports Tier (which is $16) Is the channel in Standard Defintion? The channel will be broadcast in standard definition and hi definition What if there are multiple games on at once ? We will broadcast a game on the Fox Footy Channel, and the other game on a Fox Sports Channel. Will you be broadcasting Ch 7 game ? Yes, we will be broadcasting them on the FOX Footy Channel, and upscale them (if they aren't shot in HD) to HD. Note: Programming details are not yet available but popular requests were for the return of two of my old favourites from the old Fox Footy Channel - White Line Fever and Grumpy Old Men.
