Channel 10 broadcast Round 1

[annew]

Glad to see that Channel 10 is continuing its form showing delayed telecasts. You would think that since it is round 1 and it is the premiers playing their first game they could at least show it live and not half hour delayed. Good way to switch channel 10 off and listen to the radio.

Shocking! Nothing like growing the game!

Half an hour usually doesn't get to me too much. Dont really understand what 10 get out of squeezing in that second (repeat) episode of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' though.

[sharp9]

Fox only show their own three games live.

Why not show NSW "Before the Game"actually before the game?

Doesn't affect me directly as I'll be at the Dome.

Has anyone seen a full list of TV broadcasts for Sydney for Rd 1?

I think they do it to have greater control over the ad breaks. With a half hour delay, they can put more ads in after goals and not miss any of the play afterwards.

Whilst it is easy to say that it sucks to have more ads after goals because you want to watch the footy, you have to look at it from a commercial point of view. Advertisers should be applauded for using AFL & the Swans as medium through which to advertise their products. I think we as customers should be pro-active towards such companies. As they are ones willing to pay to identify with the Swans 'brand' over other timeslots & or sports.

I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with it, because when you are at a game, you notice that the umpire has to wait for the light to come on before he can restart play in the centre.
That light is to let the umpire know that the TV station concerned has returned from its ad break.

The only reason I can think of for a delayed telecast is to try and get more people in through the gate, although it's hard to see what difference it will make to us considering the match is being played 1000km away.

May well be cost cutting, as the Melb telecast will probably be delayed as well. The Sydney games in Sydney on Sat nights is always a delayed coverage in Melb if televised at all.

The new rights deal can't come quickly enough if midnight is the earliest the season opening game will be shown on free to air.

What a great advertisement of the code to the Sydney market.

I have Fox thankfully - but surely this game could still be showed live instead of an hour's delay??!!

[Pommie Swannie]

Really doesn't bode too well for the rest of the season! Thank god for Fox Footy is all I can say!

They don't - it's identical to the live broadcast - except 30 mins late.

For the late night broadcasts TEN does have longer (but fewer) ad breaks whereas NINE still seems to stick to the original. Both leave out the half-time waffle though.
