^ At least most of the games are on Nine. There was a period where they were scheduling some sporting events on GEM even though there would have been no conflict on Nine. Maybe Nine were scheduling sport on GEM specifically to give viewers HD (I doubt it)
This means we might see The Ashes in England in 2019 on Nine instead of GEM.
Nine using the main channel for cricket to give the maximum coverage and HD. The matches against NZ and Pakistan are on 9Gem in NRL states. For AFL states, it’s on the main channel. Nine News Perth will be shown during the innings break on 18 and 25 March.
Just a heads up, Bangladesh is the qualifier in Australia’s group.
Interesting that Ian Healy has been given the hosting role tonight…
Don’t know why Nine hasn’t switched their main channel in Sydney and Brisbane to cricket. There looks to be about 30 minutes of post-match filler happening now followed by yet another story on Jarryd Hayne and then some movie.
They could have easily had the first inning on Gem & the second inning (where Australia is batting) on Nine. Heck the innings break meant they would have still been able to have a short post-game for FNF before going to the cricket
Cricket Australia today announced the international fixture for the 2016-17 season. Australia will play three tests each against South Africa (Hobart will host a test between the two teams for the first time) and Pakistan (including the first-ever day/night test at The Gabba). The Adelaide test against South Africa may or may not be a day/night test as Proteas players are reluctant to play with a pink ball, but CA will continue to push for it. A three-match ODI series against NZ will be held between the SA and Pakistan test series, while Australia will host another five-match ODI series against Pakistan in January and a three-match Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka in February. You can see the fixture here
The first test against South Africa starts on November 3, the same day as Oaks Day of Melbourne Cup carnival (Seven won’t be happy about it as it means viewers will be watching cricket than horse racing and fashion). But for the first time in a decade, there will be no international cricket on the same nights as Australian Open women’s singles final (January 28, 2017) nor men’s singles final (January 29).
The ANZAC Day clash will be shown on the main channel across Australia.
Edit: should have said Seven will be happy with that decision
Although they’ll probably do the same thing with AFL
I thought for a moment there you meant Dragons vs Roosters!
(since this is a Nine thread).
Until I saw Sifon’s post.
NRL Dragons Vs Roosters on 9 and 9HD from 3.30pm AEST
Is that a late change? The game was scheduled for GEM in Melbourne and Adelaide.
Unless the online guides I’m looking at are yet to be updated, the ANZAC Day NRL match will still be shown on 9Gem in AFL states.
Where did you see this?
Nine doesn’t seem to publish a national TV guide anymore (the ninemsn website just points you to 9now).
eBroadcast is listing the Anzac Day NRL game as being on 9Gem in Melb and Adel, but it is Live on 9 and 9HD in Perth.
Saw it on the Foxtel Guide. Pretty odd to see the ANZAC Day NRL game on the main channel in Perth
The time zone helps, running from 1:30 to 4pm and not being a news lead in like in the eastern states.
But still, it’s up against Collingwood vs Essendon, despite both of those teams being near the bottom of the AFL ladder.
ANZAC Day NRL is still showing as being on Gem in Melbourne, just as at the AFL game is still showing as being on 7mate in Sydney.

Next Monday’s Footy Classified will be show on 9Gem in AFL states at the special time of 8.30pm, before it is repeated on the main channel at 11.15pm, so fans of the show won’t be kept waiting due to the double episode of Reno Rumble.
