It’s about resources, they don’t/won’t have the people to host, produce, shoot, etc.
Really missing Footy Classified (and The Sunday Footy Show) at the moment. I understand why it’s not on, but the footy doesn’t stop for anyone and it’s a shame it’s not on during the most exciting finish to a home-and-away season in recent memory.
The absence of Talking Footy is the bigger issue and I’m surprised 7 hasn’t copped more heat from other media outlets about it
I guess since it is only newly returned it doesn’t have that built-up relationship with viewers that the others have.
There were some technical issues during the live stream of tonight’s episode of 9NOW. Two internal test cards were shown:
Footy Classified will be available at 7.30 on 9Go! next week up against Paralympic coverage.
Update: 8:30pm Vic, SA, 8pm WA.
Footy Classified will be 7.30 on 9Go! 9 September up against Paralympic coverage.
One online guide had FC (M/A/P) and 100% (S/B) at 8:30pm with Seinfeld at 7:30 and the movie pushed back to 9:30.
Yes I believe that is correct… except for Perth… FC at 7.30
Edit: Grand Final week will feature Footy Classified on Tuesday and Wednesday.
That’s interesting. I wonder who will be on the Tuesday panel?
Edit: Monday’s show is moved to Tuesday to avoid the Brownlow.
Tuesday:
The biggest names and agenda-setters lock horns on Footy Classified. Join Craig Hutchison, Matthew Lloyd,
Caroline Wilson and Kane Cornes as they bring you footy’s most confrontational program.
Wednesday:
The biggest names and agenda-setters lock horns on Footy Classified. Join Eddie McGuire, Matthew Lloyd, Jimmy Bartel and Damian Barrett as they bring you footy’s most confrontational program.
Update for next week
Tomorrow night’s show will be an emotional one with Caroline Wilson to fire her final arrow after 18 seasons with the program, not to mention the last edition of Close Checking with Kane Cornes.
The show will certainly not be the same next year.
She’s leaving the show?
Yep, as per reports in the Herald Sun, she is reportedly defecting to Seven. Massive loss.
Looks like she’s following Kane Cornes to Seven.
Wow didnt see this coming. Although I do like Kane and Caro together. Classified won’t be worth watching anymore if true. (for me anyways).
Yep, not good for the show. 2 big losses.
