They can demand whatever they want, but they'll do better to do a deal.Originally posted by Annie Haddad
The way negotiations have progressed thus far suggest to me that Ch7/10 are willing to absorb the extra $$'s. They want a minimum $55 mil or nothing. It's their right to demand it.
What commercials? There are none during game time.I prefer FTA TV over pay ... I can't justify paying for commericals.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

At least you get Friday and Saturday night matches at or close to live.Originally posted by goswannie14
Victorian viewers will be shafted again, only 4 games free to air, that sucks.

Pretty hard to compare that with not getting anySwans games.Originally posted by hammo

The real point is though, that the majority of Australians do not have or cannot afford to have pay TV. To put half of the matches onto a network that has 25% national coverage at best it stupid if the AFL really want to promote the game.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

No, I have an issue with the wasted paper it generates.Originally posted by NMWBloods

If muting the ads is the only effort required on my part for me to watch FTA TV, I'm there baby!!
I don't get pay TV because when it was first put out to the community the slogan was "why pay for ads". Suckers ... you're now paying for the ads that I can watch (should I choose) for free on FTA.
If the deal between pay TV and FTA TV falls through ... great for me ... I get 8 games a week, without having to pay for it.
If the deal goes ahead, oh well, I live in Sydney ... I'll watch what I can get and all Swans games are guaranteed live into Sydney - and that's the most important thing.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

Oooh Cow ... I wish you didn't tell me that.
That's it ... I'm getting Foxtel so I can mute THEIR ads too.

They were quite upfront in saying that ads would be introduced after the initial introduction period (I think 3 months).Originally posted by Annie Haddad

If you watch AFL or NRL you get the full games uninterupted. IMO that is the biggest advantage of the Pay TV coverage.
The most frustrating aspect of FTA coverage is the innane cut to an ad break immediately after a goal is scored. If there is a bigger atmosphere killer than that then I don't know what it is. You also mostly miss out on any replay on FTA. Fox Footy's coverage was streaks ahead of what was offered on FTA.
Also, with 7 back in control I wonder what gimmicky self-promotions of their pathetic programming we'll get in the AFL - ala their "quiet please" ads in the tennis.
Annie you should try to be more informed of the product you criticise, given the one you are defending actually has more ads."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk
