Curiously, did it start at (a tad) before the 5 minute mark in all cities, or just where the NRL aired?

Also, this was the last game of the EPL on Nine for a few weeks. Will be interesting to see if it returns.

Even with a later start (with daylight savings here and abroad). A “pre game” show could work for them perhaps too. Remember, the almighty ratings period finish ar midnight. A pre game show at 11pm, witk kick off at 11.30pm would help with ratings shares.

Re: World Athletics Championships 2025

Looks like Nine will show the day sessions as well, based on the advance schedule.

With WNBL and NBL under common ownership, I was hoping for WNBL taking the FTA rights to 10.

2274

10 don’t do anything, they just tinker at the edges and cannot be taken seriously. You’d think if they want a major sport they’d build a portfolio of niche sports to demonstrate ability and commitment.

If 10 had the WNBL, they’d probably dump it on Gecko or You TV in favour of their 4x4 shows.

“a select marque games on 9GO”… Was hoping that there would be more games on FTA.

That would mean a better production than the livestream?

You would hope so. Fingers crossed.

Interesting that Nine still has not revealed its commentary team for the World Athletics Championships, and how it will commentate the events (from Sydney or from Tokyo). I reckon Nina Kennedy, who withdrew from the Australian team on Friday after straining a muscle in her leg, will be part of Nine’s team.

Paris 2024 pole vault gold medallist Nina Kennedy will join the commentary team exclusively for Nine’s Wide World of Sports. Hosted by Tony Jones, Kennedy is joined in commentary by four-time Olympian and track expert Genevieve Gregson, Athletics expert David Culbert live from Tokyo and commentary from Matt Hill (track) and Brenton Speed (field).

Australia’s rising track superstar Gout Gout will take on the world’s best in the 200m, Matt Denny starts as one of the favorites in the discus, Paris 2024 silver medallist Jess Hull will look to go one better in the 1500m and Olympic silver medallist Nicola Olyslagers has been in hot form this year as she attacks the high jump event.

A galaxy International Athletics stars will shine brightly throughout the event with Olympic champion Noah Lyles lining up to defend his crown in the 100m, Swedish pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis out to break his own world record, and American Sydney McLaughlin-Lavrone will attack the 400m sprint after owning the 400m hurdles event.

Channel 9HD and 9GemHD is the place to be for the action each night, with finals of selected field events will be available to stream in full on 9Now.

Nine Director of Sport, Brent Williams, said: “A golden generation of Australian athletes and global icons take centre stage for what promises to be an unmissable World Athletics Championship.

“Nine’s journey to LA and then Brisbane continues as world record holders, Olympic champions and emerging superstars light up the Tokyo stadium, with every magical moment available on the screens of the 9Network and 9Now.”

A case of not wanting to use 9Go for this event?
