Nine Network - Programs and Schedules

Not sure if anyone noticed this, but Nine putting NRL on main channel again in Melbourne. Only this time it will be up against live AFL.

I think the decision is based on Melbourne Storm playing and also no Melbourne AFL team playing. Still rather odd, why Nine’s sudden change in strategy? Have NRL been asking Nine to do tha or maybe Nine are not happy with NRL on 9Gem?

It should be noted I don’t think Seven have aired AFL on main channel in Sydney or Brisbane once this year (yet), despite doing so a few times last year.

Interesting.
