This is nice for people stupid enough to give money to the Murdoch abomination. Too bad for anyone with a brain.

Seven has a tendency toward utterly pathetic, sycophantic, blatantly jingoistic commentators (the mind boggles at the McAvenney imbecile gushing about someone's special cover drive / yorker / whatever), so there'll be no improvement whatever there.

As if it wasn't already obvious, CA is all about the money. The game itself means nothing to them. This is merely the latest example.

So who will get to see most of the matches then just the people on foxtel or will 7 show any?
 
Next January will be awkward for Seven.

Given the reporst on their shoddy coverage of this year's event, don't see how next years could be any more awkward or embarrassing

Some-how I doubt ch9's coverate will be any better in that respect and try watching the EPSN coverage when Serena Williams is playing :)

The problem is that the anti-siphoning laws that kept the big sports off foxtel have allowed the FTA networks to get away with some pretty shoddy coverage (delayed telecasts played as "live", events not show at all or on-sold to the ABC or SBS) and I'd be surprised if things had really improved since I left Australia in 2009.

What's with Channel 7 and not being able to broadcast bits of the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games?

The hosts just had to do an on air apology for the coverage.
 
If Ch7 want to do the cricket properly, they'd netter lift their game.

Nit that I care, but not broadcasting the Closing Ceremony properly is a stuff up.

who's been doing ch9's cricket commentary in recent years?

Think one of the direst commentaries was when they bill lawry and tony grieg together. what a pair of boofheads.
 
I didn't watch it last night, but saw some of the feedback on facebook about it. Seems some of the blame is with the organisers also.
 
Did most of the audience walk out after the athletes came and went? I thought one of them mentioned this last night while explaining the huge stuff up.
 
Sooo, one for the Aussie's after LiS.

Netflix is dropping, on May 6 I believe, their new series... Picnic At Hanging Rock.

Hopefully it will be good. I still have the movie, though haven't watched it in years. People thought the movie was a true story hilarious.
 
I can never find this thread I really don't understand why.

However it is Anzac Day tomorrow. Lest we Forget.
