7Cricket Vs Fox Cricket

[Coops93]

How did Fox miss out on this? They aired the SL T10 tour but not the Aussies tour? I guess they tried to get it as cheap as possible & 7 pounced.

I'd say you've hit the nail on the head. Probably didn't expect 7 to be in as deep as they were and were trying to get the tour at a discount.

 

[Coops93]

I reckon it's the first (non Ashes or WTC final) overseas tour since South Africa in 1997.

i reckon thats the first non-ashes series on FTA since the 96 or 97 south african series

Hopefully Punter makes the trip over and one of the local ex-players. Sangakarra or Russell Arnold would be good.

It will almost certainly be world feed with potentially some hosting in Australia.

I'm expecting a lot of complaints about ads but I believe that accessibility to a wider audience is more important, so I'm happy (and somewhat surprised) about this news. Nine broadcast the cricket for years with ads anyway.

The 1st Test coincides with the WAshes Test.


SL vs AUS: January 29 to February 2, starting at 3:30 PM AEDT
WAshes Test: January 30 to February 2, starting at 2:30 PM AEDT


Which event will be on the main channel, and which will air on 7mate? what goes to non HD when it’s time for News.

Will be interesting tho.

Don't forget Home and Away.

Very surprised to hear that Ch7 have got the rights to show the Sri Lankan test series.

As others have mentioned it's usually only the Ashes test series in England that get shown on FTA these days.

I don't recall Ch9 showing the South African test series in the 90s but I remember them showing a couple of Windies test series.

That’s true too and Australian Idol, they have been showing ads for that a lot but no start date. Typically it’s the Monday after Aus open & that’s the 27th but that’s when BBL final is. So Idol could be 2nd Feb. If both tests go to final day then 1 will be Non SD from 6pm News until 8:30-9pm when Idol finishes

Will be interesting to see what 7 does. It’s great they got it but if it’s SD then the SLC YouTube stream is better

I've always said that Smoooothy is a smart (and extremely good looking) poster.

They didn't. Channel 7 did.

Ch 7 finally gets to (maybe now wanted to) air men’s ODI’s

channel 7 had that SA test series, channel 10 had the 95 Windies tour, but it was all channel 9 before that

edit - ffs corbies...

I seem to remember one of the early pay tv providers (Galaxy?) showing the West Indies tour.

They didn't. Channel 7 did.

I recall 7 sent Dennis Cometti over to commentate that series.

It was their first big sport event they showed I believe

They even both laugh reacted. Split personality disorder much.

 

[Aussie pie]

Good that we get to see the SL tour but come on Foxtel you show the European cricket league but not the SL tour, poor form.
Yep I’m going to complain about the endless ads on ch7 that’s why I watch all my sport on Fox/Kayo, plus the better commentary (most of the time) there are exceptions.
So what’s left of my brain is going to be assaulted with endless mindless cross promotion of some f grade “reality” show during the ads and probably the hosts/commentators who had no work in that timeframe so not the cream.

Well at least it’s on and maybe I can sync to sen but I don’t no who’s ads are worse 7 or sen. I’ll suck it up and deal with it knowing this footy season I don’t have to listen to BT once because of the new broadcast deal.

I reckon our Crow boys are in for a big year. Tex to have one final push in his last season.

Ah **** wrong account.

 

[new0066]

7 will 100% take the broadcast by SLC. If Ponting or one of 7’s normal commentators are part of the broadcast, they might send 1 person & have their own pre match & post sessions and post match stuff.

IIRC they sent JB to England for the WTC final & was joined by Langer, Ponting & Hayden who were part of the ICC broadcast.

Maybe they might do what 9 does with having a studio program instead of sending someone to .

 

[peternorth]

Steve O'Keefe, Henriques, Trent Copeland ?

trent is on ch 7 isnt he?

 

[peternorth]

It could be good to have the SL tour on 7. That way we wont have the fox team call it from a studio
