      Damn right. I was beside myself last night when it was announced on White Line Fever. I only had Foxtel installed 6 weeks ago because I wanted Fox Footy. I was fed up with the lack of AFL news in Sydney, not so much about the Swans (which is also poor) but about everything and everyone else. I will be cancelling the Fox Sports package on October 2nd and cancelling my sub to Foxtel as soon as my 12 months is up (bloody July next year!). Not happy Jan!!!!

        May not be all bad news. Link

        EVERY AFL match could be televised on free-to-air television next year under a radical realignment of the broadcasting rights.

        The AFL's new media consortium, comprising channels Seven and Ten, is believed to have unofficially turned to SBS to televise Friday night football live into Sydney and Brisbane, and has drawn up a schedule to split the AFL coverage into Melbourne.
        EVERY AFL MATCH on FTA!!

        Hot Damn!

            Demetriou confirmed that as it stands, all 8 games will be "live" (whatever that means) to air on free to air tv from next season. At times this will mean that 7 and 10 will have to go head to head.

            It's all good news!!!

              OK, so we get Friday night footy live in Sydney but what about the rest of the games? What about On the Couch, White Line Fever etc? For those of us who live north of Wagga Wagga it'll be back to the days of relying on the Internet for all our AFL news.

                Yep, that is the bigger issue for me as well. I don't get a chance to watch all 8 games on a weekend, but usually catch 4-5, so that won't change. It's more the daily news and issues going on as a whole that I will miss because that's where I get most benefit. And of course the other thing is that the shows they have on FTA at the moment are total and utter garbage.

                I don't see how they will be able to keep something like WLF going without FFC (no way they'll give up a one hour prime time slot every night), but hopefully they can find a way to have the once a week shows kept in some form or another (although this would have to be on Fox for the same prime time reasons).

                I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

                If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                    I would love it, absolutely love it, if ALL AFL was on free-to-air. I am sure that On the Couch and some of the better shows would be picked up - OK it may be a bit later in Sydney but for mine that is a small price to pay for Eddie Macguire being out of the braodcasting and for Uncle Rupert to lose his control too.
                    I am very doubtful that this will be a good deal for anyone living north of Wagga Wagga. I'll walk to Melbourne and back if we get 8 games live into Sydney each weekend. I'll walk to Adelaide and back if we get the footy chat shows on during peak viewing times. I can understand why southerners are happy but its probably gonna suck for the rest of us.

                            All I really want is Fri night footy live plus at least one Sat AND Sun game live. And any Swans game live of course.

                            If this is what's going to happen, then this is great.

                              People in futbol circles are thrilled about Fox Footy being replaced by Fox Sports 3.


                              I get the impression that it will be more futbol-oriented than AFL. Fox have nabbed Andy Harper & Simon Hill to beef up their A-League coverage as well.

                              It will be interesting to see what happens for sure. (especially if I'm in Brisbane next year!)

                                Your post makes no sense. This thread is about losing Fox Footy so what are you referring to?
