    Pretty sure the deal requires both Sydney and Brisbane to get all games on FTA.

    That's the main reason we have no Friday night or twilight games.

        j s is right.....

        The reason we don't have Friday night games is so that we'll get all of our games live on FTA TV.

        Channel 10 & 7 have both made the commitment to the AFL that all Swans games will go live into Sydney.

          This is at least one area where Channel 10 deserves some credit.

            Yep.

            Even when they were copping a pasting in the ratings they stuck to their guns and kept the Swans on.... Mind you, it was in between BB & Idol seasons so they had @@@@ all else to put on!!

                  If you pick up SBS, you should be able to tune into Ch31 (TVS).
                  It's a scream. It's got some great backyard home-made shows.
                  Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                      funnily enough, channel 31 is not available on foxtel/optus digital. i get all the other fta channels.
                      then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i know

                        Weird eh??
                        I couldn't get it on the TV, but was able to tune in via the video.
                        Try that.

                          My reception for Ch31 is non-existent. I suspect the AFL would strongly consider legal action if that is what 7 & 10 are planning. It hardly makes the game available to the widest audience and, in my view, significantly cheapens the AFL brand.

                            Yeh, but from Ch 31's perspective I'm sure Friday Nite Football will make a great lead-in to Parramatta's version of "Wayne's World".
