Nine Sports Broadcasting

Wonder how much Nine pay, for little value?

It is fantastic for FTA and golf fans though.

A particular point I agree with.

Like, even if an Aussie wins, instead of Seven and Ten being forced to flash Nine’s watermark on their network (for credit), they’ll (as always with AFL / NRL) just use Foxtel’s.

Because clearly that’s the most important part of having exclusive sports, obviously.

You’ve attempted sarcastic humour. And failed. But I forgive you

Uh, it’s only a burn when a third party identifies it as such.

I’m a third party, and can confirm that it was most definitely not a burn.

Touché

Do Nine have a systemic look for their sport? I know they have an opener / closer.

Seven do, re-launched in 2012 and tweaked along the way.

Ten have an opener, but apart from that their presentation looks nothing alike among their sports.

I’d argue ten barely have sport.

The only sport they produce is the bbl. the rest is simulcast rubbish that no one watches

Australian Grand Prix, Bathurst and the rest of the V8s all rate?

It’s 4 minutes per hour, and in the US only 5 companies pay big money to be a sponsor with next to no advertising allowed.

Not really and not reguarlrly week to week. They’re one offs and part of a ridiculous simulcast deal. So not really anything to write home about.

Any announcement yet about what Nine are covering of the upcoming Netball quad series?

I found one game that Nine is televising and that is between the Proteas and the Diamonds, live on Nine at 2.30am AEDT this Sunday

Nine been pretty consistent and comprehensive over the last few years with the coverage of the tour down under. Looks decent in HD

Good to see effort into cycling. Phil Liggett is a stalwart.

But honestly, does anyone watch it?

He is, but SBS thinks otherwise these days.

Been mentioned plenty of times SBS take the Tour world feed, which replaced Liggett and Sherwen with Keenan and McEwen

SBS even use the two pre stage just so they are on the coverage!

Yes I think Liggett is exclusive to NBCSN
