Yeah I also saw that.
I heard a ten ad before from another room when i thought the cricket was on. So yeh must be advertising elsewhere considering no one watches their network. You’d think fox cricket would be rating higher than ten’s main channel mostl nights.

yes dude.
Well if Fox can advertise on Nine/7 and 10, than why can’t they advertise on Fox? They are all businesses after all.

I remember seeing ch9 ads on fox8 years ago.
Not the first time that Ten has advertised on Foxtel.

Shouldn’t be happening given those ties with Fox have now been severed (10 have taken sales back in house instead of outsourcing them to News Corp’s MCN).

Why shouldn’t it happen? Ten are a business, just like Foxtel. Foxtel advertise on Ten so why can’t fhey advertise on them? Or is it only allowed to go one way?
At the end of the day, they are paying advertising fees to promote their business, so if they want sales surly any media organisation would take it? Otherwise ten should stop showing Foxtel adverts cause it a direct competitor in the media field.

So Seven are doing pink graphics but Fox are not.
The Indian network covering the match has got the rosters off Fox Cricket and are going with different commentators only when Kerry O’Keeffe is commentating on Fox… all because of what they see as a discriminating remark O’Keeffe made during the Melbourne test match. When O’Keeffe isn’t commentating, they go back to Fox’s coverage.
Sensitive to say the least.

Ian Healy, Andrew Symonds and Mel Jones are commentating on tonight’s BBL match from the studio in Sydney, rather than taking the Channel 7 commentary feed tonight. 7’s graphics are still being used.
Pretty cheap and nasty for Sony to be doing part-time commentary in the first place. they shouldn’t have to use Fox commentators at all.
That’s even worse than using the Seven commentators. Fox will get more complaints.

Presumably also couldn’t land in Hobart?
When the tests are on, Fox has been simulcasting Seven’s coverage but using their own studio panel pre/post-game and between overs/innings. They seem to have decided tonight that since Seven’s commentators aren’t at the stadium, they’ll just use their panel instead

There was a ball that was hit extremely high and landing close to the boundary and you could tell the commentators had no idea whether it was going to land on the field, land in the crowd or be caught by the fielder.
Hopefully next year they fix this up. Fox are getting a lot of complaints over it.
Well this is just fucken bullshit. Never happened when cricket was on nine and ten.
It never happened because there was never a time in which flights got canceled due to bush fires in the Hobart area.
Given the circumstances down there today, it is totally understandable tonight.
Now it’s fingers crossed it only happens tonight and Seven/fox don’t get the idea in their heads they can do this all the time.

If Ten had the rights to the Hurricanes v Sixers game tonight, I bet they too would have commentated from a studio from either Sydney or Melbourne.

Didn’t they do it for a Rugby Union match this year when thunderstorms hit Brisbane?
