Regardless of what can be seen in Sydney this is the case.

        They don't. Any sport they show on ONE that is on the anti-siphoning list must also be shown at the same time on Ten. This does not include replays, only the premier "live or near live" screening.

          Make sure you check Main Event 518 - Almost always shows live games when you can't get them live on the other stations.

              The AFL Broadcasting Guide unfortunately says no. Sorry to be a buzz kill. If it's any consolation the entire eastern coast is affected by the clash.

              Fox518 shows games that Channel 7 and 10 buy the rights to but elect not to show into Sydney and Brisbane, usually because they want to show the local team in action. Fox allows 7 & 10 to take their feed live to air and in return broadcasts the unwanted game from 7 and 10. This also occurs if the FTA channels want to delay the start until the middle of the night, as is happening with the Richmond v Hawthorn game on Saturday night.

                    But at least in Melbourne you still get the whole game. In Sydney it will be the two hour abridged version.

                        Please see below the latest correspondence between myself and the club on this issue.

                        PLEASE EMAIL THE SWANS and express your concerns. If we don't complain directly then nothing is going to change.

                        It's the power of the red and white people.


                        Dear Stephanie,

                        Thanks for your email, I have forwarded your feedback to our Media Manager and am waiting on her response.
                        Once she provides me with some further information on TV scheduling I will get back to you.
                        In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further assistance.
                        Kind regards,
                        Swans Membership

                        Subject: RE: TV Coverage: Round 21


                        Thanks for the email.
                        How can it be live when the game starts at 2pm in Melbourne?
                        I am really concerned that the club is not doing enough with the AFL and it's broadcast partners to communicate that this is just not good enough.
                        If the AFL and the Swans are committed to growing AFL in NSW, how does not broadcasting a blockbuster game against Collingwood live into Sydney achieve those aims.
                        This is of great concern to the broader membership base and supporters of AFL in NSW.
                        It's just good enough and I want to ensure that the club are taking action.
                        Regards,
                        Stephanie

                          Can't really blame C7, the ratings speak for themselves. The problem lies with the AFL scheduling in putting this game up against the V8s.

                            Yes, but Channel 7 should really have their act together regarding their HD channels. To have 5 channels all broadcasting the exact same content is inexcusable.
                            Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!

                              BSA5. I worry. We agree too often. Its just not R&W policy.

                              C7 are unprofessional and have as much idea about AFL as our undear departed (thank god) marketing bloke.

                                Federal Government legislation does not allow broadcast on the extra channels yet, without concurrent live broadcast on the main channel.

                                The laws haven't caught up with the technology. Review taking place as we speak... in time for next Millenium.
