I don't know what you guys are complaining about. Cricket and AFL are the opnly two sports in town (well maybe womens beach volleyball Dan). The rest of the crap on TV is - well - crap. And why the hell would you want to pay EXTRA to watch so much crap. Don't you have a 4WD and camper trailer? $600 (a year) will get me around 3000kms and I reckon that 3000kms would be so much more fun and enjoying than PAYING extra for crap! But thats just me...

I had to get foxtel because of all the sport on free to air. I would rather sit in a refrigerator and flick my testicles than watch sport on TV, scrape by eyes out with a HIV infected spoon.

Ladies beach volley ball goes alright. (one exception).

My sentiments exactly again!!! ( forgot to quote)

Apologies for my earlier rant bagging Channel 9. Obviously they got it right again! St Locky does it for the Broncos. I bow my head in sincere and repentant shame! How could I be such a tool?

Love it .. Go camping instead .... Isn't The rugby on the Radio ? I know I listen to the AFL and Tennis where possible on the radio ....

BigJules · September 18, 2011, 06:51:00 PM

I love camping, but I love rugby too. Watching Canada v France now, cracking game.

packer has it all sown up 9 shouldn't have got the free to air rights their free to air coverage is well below par, ankles

Still ... the ARU has to take some of the blame. Selling the coverage rights to the highest bidder knowing that Ch9 would prioritise it behind it's own coverage of ARL.
It's not doing ARU any favours with a potential new audience not being able to watch games live or in some cases not being able to watch their team at all!
Once the ARL finals are done ... hopefully 9 will give the RWC priority.

I don't give a stuff about the coverage, but Australia losing to Ireland, that pisses me off

Ireland out played Australia in every aspect of the game and made Quade Cooper look like a rookie

Very annoyed, Baz.

Couldn't agree more ... Deans needs to outlaw chip-kicks and behind the back flick passes from Quade Cooper!

I have heard (not verified but easy to do, I'm just too busy gloating over England's win and Australia's loss), that Channel 9 own some of Foxtel.

So those that say pah to C9 because of their Shite coverage and hello $600 a year for Foxtel are exactly the kind of customer C9 wants to 'put off' their World Cup coverage.

I went down to the local rugby club yesterday to watch a live game with 'er indoors and am off to my mate's next weekend for free Foxtel.

Best of both worlds!

I thought it was Murdoch that owned fuxtel.. thus why when Lachlan got incharge of Ch10, he went "NO MORE AFL NEXT YEAR - GO TO DADDYS PAY TV IF YOU WANT IT"...

Foxtel is owned by Telstra 50%, New's Corporation (Murdoch) 25% and Consolidated Media 25%.

Consolidated Media (CMH) also owns 50% of Fox Sports.
However CMH used to own 50% of PBL Media (which included Ch9) CMH now only owns around 1% of PBL Media after Packer sold everything off to pay for his Casino building empire.

So there's not a very big link now between Ch9 and Foxtel.

I'm just sayin'
