TV rights deal to be announced at 2:30

[G-Mo77]

Of to a good start so far. The first ad was last years with Lil' Gaz in a Geelong jumper and now they are showing a press conference (unannounced) of ANZAC Day !

Telstra and AFL.com.au right on the ball already

Yeah enjoying hearing Mick talk about the new deal. Great start guys.

 

[BACCS]

It hasn't started yet guys, live coverage on Fox Sports News too.

 

[PrideOf]

Is anybody getting footage at all?

I've got video streaming of Mick and Pendles, under a heading of 'Live Broadcasting Rights'.

 

[silverscope]

For those of you at work, you can watch it live here.

Was just going to post that.

Geez its amazing how good a newspapers website is compared to the official AFL website.

Perfect stream, great quality and fast loading... Compare that with the AFL website.... Telstra/Bigpond need to take note and learn to run a website similar to nba/nhl/mlb .com sites which are years ahead of anything Telstra has.

Finally here we go..

or not.

The AFL called this press conference for 2:30pm. Why is it they are making us all wait? Surely if they call the press conference at 2:30pm they should be ready to go at 2:30pm.

Thanks champ. Yet another AFL stream that is far better seen from somewhere apart from the AFL web site.

Channel 9 hopefully came in with a last second bid to trump 7.

The annoying thing is, they are notorious for never starting these types of on time.

Twenty minutes and counting.

It's like a rock concert. Make sure the crowd's in, build the buzz up as much as you can.

 

[BluesMan]

Watching it live on fox, well, watching some chick dribble the same stuff over and over, currently.

Yet to start.... waiting...

 

[ilmc]

Can't get HS, Age Fox or AFL streams working.

If someone could post the main points, that would be great.

 

[RisingPhoenix]

Can someone explain how many games we will see on FTA as part of this deal?

Will everyone now need to get Foxtel?

Will WC/Freo games remain on free to air?

Technical difficulties.

On the champers with puppies out ??

 

[The Speaker]

If someone could post the main points, that would be great.

• Adelaide Oval's future is soon to be voted on by the SACA
• Barry Hall is injured

 

[Riders of Rohan]

For **** sake hurry up, 25 mins in.

 

[Quivorir]

Yeah the GC Top and name official announcement was like 45 mins late wasnt it?

 

[rustyOfOz]

assuming the info is correct (a dedicated AFL channel) then I will certainly consider getting Foxtel (never had it in the past). do you guys feel the same way?

 

[keeno 111]

The best news I could hear is channel 7 has got nothing, But that won't happend

 

[Foreign Legion]

Sarah Jones handling herself with class as per usual

Yep, she is a beauty beez - seen her a few times in the flesh - she is a stunner and knows a fair bit about footy too.

Be good if the AFL could get things rolling - everyone waiting, waiting....

Thank for that. Much better than AFL website. Gosh that afl website has turned horrible. Even loading the front page is noticeably slower every time i log on as compared to last year.
