Ring Channel 7 And Register Your Complaint

[acuguy]

I urge all AFL supporters to ring Channel 7 today and complain about the Geelong VS Collingwood delayed telecast into Brisbane, instead we have to watch Better Homes and Gardens. Every football follower should call because 7 have butchered telecasts and programming all year of our great game.
Ring and register your complaint.

While everyone is at it, ring up Channel packer and the AFL for screwing the tv rights conditions during the negotiations.

You blame 9 & the AFL for a game 7 won the rights to but they preferred to offload it to Fox for those North of the Murray?

seven has the rights to this final but they are not allowing Fox to show it live. All year though seven has allowed Fox to show friday night footy live... just not in the finals

Incorrect - The opening Friday night final (Port Adelaide v Eagles) was live on Main Event/518 Foxtel Digital.

Oh right, I don't think anyone made Seven pull out their wallet and see if it measured up to Nine's wallet.

7 matched the rights 9 put on the table - money and schedule. The AFL could of had channel 7 telecasting live for $12 million less a year.

I'm supporting the calls to 7, but also complain to the AFL and annoy the channel 9 switchboard for helping cause this mess. Here is a previous post of mine on the subject:

From what I read over the last year, Channel 7/10 offered $720 million with very good timeslots.

Demitriou accepted a Channel Packer offer for $780 million for worse timeslots.

Channnel 7 had the "last rights bid" and matched the $780 million with 10. They also cut back their timeslot commitment as they were "matching" Packer's deal.

Packer got angry and influenced Fauxtel (look up faux) to back out and offer less when negotiating with 7/10.

So for $12 million more a year, the AFL got a worse deal.

coverage starts at 7.30 on the sunny coast.

I like the delayed telecasts. Kids are in bed. I used to like the late night starting at around 11.

 

[stugots]

not that it would be much different under nein

i do feel your pain tho, finals should always be live

surely a simple clause in the rights agreement could ensure that finals a broadcast live to all states & territories,

not brain surgery me thinks vlad

The game didnt have to be played on Friday night, this was done by the AFL for the benefit of Channel 7. Ive emailed Neil Mitchell, but not sure if Vlad is going to be on today... maybe if he is on and someone can call and ask him what his opinion is the fact the game is on delay for more then half of Australia.

 

[Since1864]

That extra 12 Million paid for Demetrispew's pay rise

Yeah, because he deserved it, for what he has done for the game
(well that is what he would say!!!)

 

[Learning to Kick Straight]

VLAD was on radio and was asked about lack of live coverage of tonight's game......... pretty much said he doesn't care.

Also he hopes North wins against Port Adelaide..... shouldn't he be neutral??? Disgraceful AFL!!!

He makes Politicians looks good!!

oops forgot about that one... it's the exception then... but i suppose c7 won't allow it to happen with the prelim because it's such a massive game

When I just rang the Seven Queensland office at Maroochydore regarding the AFL on TV tonight it was confirmed to be an 8:30 pm start.

So NO live footy on the Sunny Coast tonight!

Good for you SKipper

 

[WhoAteAllThePies]

And how much did they pay for the broadcast rights again?

Not nearly as much as it cost for Better Homes Than Yours.

 

[MickRicho]

Well the game is officially a sell out, does that mean it is going live in to Melbourne??
