It's not on any tv or any radio in adelaide. 4th vs 5th ffs.

Same as the freo game.

This is ****ing bullshit.

I used to like the world better when common sense ruled. 2 channels showing the same game at once and no-one showing another - genius.
 
its definitely on the 'dodgy' satellite if you can get someone to show it somewhere

pity we cant though

will the carpark simulation game be on then ?
Yes it is a real pity that the sat link is against the broadcast rules.
Saying that I think I might hop down for a look around game time
Seems the sensible thing to do!

i always watch the blues games there, because it's 5 minutes from my house...always good for the sunday double header as well

can i add to the overwhelming wave of hate that this situation brings...i even emailed a few melbourne based journalists last year about the issue, this needs to be addressed in the next wave of broadcast rights...the sooner the AFL breaks ties with Telstra (and subsequently Foxtel) the better
 
It would appear a very exciting Bingo game will be on at the Odin Sat afternoon. Lets say damo and revenge I will make sure your usual table is reserved
 
its not foxtels fault

its the FTA stations that are re-transmitting the foxtel feed when this happens

It's Foxtel's choice to run the same game against FTA, this was part of the new deal because it's "better" for WA fans...no reason at all that Foxtel couldn't show a different game to the Freo/WC game on at the same time, as was the case with the previous broadcast deal.
 
wrong - its FTA showing the same game as foxtel - its the foxtel feed , the foxtel cameras , the foxtel commentary team that the FTA networks are retransmitting

foxtel bought the rights to these games when the broadcasting deal was being struck - it was an afterthought clause that was written in after all the deals on games were done that meant the games had to be shown by FTA in the homestate of the team

so its the AFL and the governments fault

Brisbane v Carlton is a channel 10 game this weekend
Fremantle V Port Adelaide is the Foxtel Game that they paid for the right to show as part of the arrangement

why then would foxtel show the channel 10 game when they have paid for and are using all their equipment to cover their game ??

its not foxtels fault at all - they are simply showing what they paid to do and what they are actually producing

10 in perth and adelaide are retransmitting foxtels work at the request of the AFL and the governments

because it was deemed unfair and against the anti syphoning laws that WA and SA would not get FTA coverage of the home state teams

which if the deal was left as it was without the tinkering would have happened

this week would have been bris v carl on TEN and port v freo on fox

leaving the people without fox in SA and WA not seeing their team

thats what caused this mess

again - not foxtels fault
 
foxtel are actually the victims and get screwed in this

the FTA network in the home states of the game get to show Foxtels work !!

AND they get to sell advertising during the broadcast

Ten and Seven would be rubbing their hands with glee at the situation

its ludicrous

i think foxtel did get some financial compensation for this though
