6:30pm here in FNQ & WIN (our version of ch9) just went back to the Cricket, just in time for the drinks break.

[craigb]

How does it work? CH9 enter into an agreement with CA to broadcast the cricket, then decide to sorta maybe broadcast it live.

Why doesn't CA demand that they show ALL of it live.

Have you noticed how they delay their telecast by a second or two so that is out of synch with the ABC call?

I like that feature, I can be sitting at my desk with the radio on & when something interesting happens, I dive out to the TV in the workshop & see it live(?)

Not a problem down here with anything on channel 9 (Win)
We cannot get reception at all for #9

[westpest]

It's not just 9- Ten made a blue with programming the Japanese grand prix after bathurst and trimmed 16 minutes off the race during each of the first three add breaks and they think that the viewers are to stupid to notice. Of course a fan won't notice almost a third of the race missing. Letters of complaint didn't even get a response.

down here we cant get 9
so can only watch it on imparja

Thesaurus :

Cricket : Boring, dull, unimaginably slow, tedious, pointless, WOFTAM, ludicrious, fat unfit men who never mentally matured, pathetic, silly, skin cancer inducing, jingoistic idolisation etc etc etc...

If I was French I would say (In a bad french accent ) : "Pah! I fart in your general direction!"

Sorry Zed, but I think you have cricket confused with golf.

I recently paid $200 to get a new UHF antenna so that we could pick up WIN clearly. It was like watching them play in a blizzard during the New Zealand test. Worth every cent, clear as a bell.

I agree, if they are going to take the contract to broadcast it, they should be forced to broadcast the whole lot live with no interruptions. If people complain because there garbage shows aren't on because of the cricket, they can switch to another channel. There is nothing on TV more important than cricket.

[bitingmidge]

Cricket is the only reason there is a TV in this house.

No wonder these forums are popular

anything that takes 5 days for a result (or a draw!!!) is a waste. these people should be sent to china to make cheap power tools instead of wasting our time. imagine all the low cost housing or reforestation that could be built on the MCG, SCG, WACA, Adelaide oval, Gabba etc.....

[silentC]

Granted it's not for those with short attention spans...

Channel bloody Nein :mad:

earlier in the year they had the rights to the RL state of origin, but showed a pre recorded auto biography of a gAyFL player instead. Not only that but they force Foxtel to play it on a couple of hours delay even if they aren't going to show it live.
All melbourne storm games were aired at about 1am. Pricks :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
