Nine Sports Broadcasting

So I guess that proves those TVs date back to (at least) 2012?

Sometimes TVs have a habit of adding new channels, but don’t delete or update LCN names on others, unless a full rescan is done

So there was a performance by Kelsey Browne at the end of the Netball All Stars match but channel nine choose to end the broadcast half way through

She was fantastic!

Footy on Nine in 2020

Nine’s coverage of Australian Rules football will be turbo-charged in 2020 with the signing of some big new names, the launch of exciting new programs and the return of familiar favourites.

Our beefed-up footy slate will see previews, reviews and analysis of the AFL radically boosted across Nine’s suite of television programs, newspapers, radio stations and digital properties.

Headlining the enhanced lineup is Footy Classified, returning for its 14th season on Monday, March 16, at 9.00pm.

Widely regarded as the most knowledgeable of all footy panel shows, Footy Classified will reunite Craig Hutchison, Caroline Wilson and Matthew Lloyd in the must-watch Monday night timeslot. Joining them this year will be the outspoken South Australian Kane Cornes, who played 300 games for Port Adelaide before retiring in 2015.

And in a win for footy fans across the country, Nine will launch a second, midweek edition of Footy Classified in 2020.

Premiering on March 18 at 10.00pm, the Wednesday edition of Footy Classified will bring Eddie McGuire back to Nine’s prime-time schedule, joining Caroline Wilson and Matthew Lloyd on the panel. Rounding out the team will be former St Kilda and Fremantle coach Ross Lyon, who joins the Nine family for the 2020 season.

Another big-name recruit is highly respected journalist Sam McClure, who will play a role on both editions of Footy Classified as the program’s newsbreaker, as well as providing the latest unfolding news developments across The Age and 3AW. Sam will also be heard Monday to Friday at 6.00pm on 3AW’s Sportsday program, alongside Gerard Healy.

The Sunday Footy Show will be back for an incredible 28th season from 10.00am on Sunday, March 22.

This year’s lineup is unchanged: the winning combination of host Tony Jones alongside former AFL superstars Matthew Lloyd, Nathan Brown, Kane Cornes, Billy Brownless and Damian Barrett. Plus, Sam Newman will make special guest appearances throughout the year.

Oval Office also returns in 2020, featuring interviews with AFL players and hosted by Sam Edmund.

Free-to-air’s only dedicated AFLW program, Women’s Footy, brings viewers the latest news, opinion and analysis in and around the women’s AFL competition.

Complementing our broadcast television slate will be three digital programs available on 9Now and YouTube.

Full Time with Crawf, presented by AFL legend Shane Crawford and Nine News reporter Ayrton Woolley, will drop across digital channels at 8.30pm each Sunday, starting March 22. With a recap of the day’s footy action, Full Time with Crawf will also tackle the headlines and key talking points from the week, taking a look at post-match media conferences and bringing viewers up to date with the latest on injuries, reports and suspensions.

Our second new digital program is Talk of the Town, on Wednesday afternoons, starting March 18. Each week, Sam McClure, Warren Tredrea and Seb Costello will dissect the key issues in footy’s heartland. We’ll have agenda-setters across the country and Talk of the Town will be their platform to zero in on the big news in their respective markets that may not be making headlines elsewhere.

Rounding out Nine’s new digital lineup is the third program, Home Ground. Hosted by Shane Crawford, Home Ground will document the life of AFL players away from the game. It will feature retired players in their natural environment as they recount fond memories of their careers, and provide an insight into the private lives of current players as we explore their hobbies, pets, partners and favourite haunts.

Nine’s unrivalled coverage also encompasses our top-rating football callers across radio stations 3AW and 6PR as well as our award-winning writers at The Age.

Featuring a roll-call of commentators, expert analysts and esteemed journalists, 3AW will bring you the best call from the best matches every week of the season.

And with The Age, you’ll always be up to the mark, whether online or in print, with unrivalled reporting from the best football writers in the land.

Nine’s AFL Executive Producer, Matt Conway, said:

“Footy on Nine will make its mark in 2020. Nine’s award-winning team of commentators and journalists will come together across television, newspapers, radio and online to provide unique insight.

The digital space provides an exciting new ground for us to share stories about the game we love.”

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We’ll share a dream and sing with one voice
“I am, you are, we are Australian”

Sung by a choir of white women. Diversity at its finest! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

WOMEN’S FOOTY will move to the main channel in NRL states and take the place of local Rugby League competitions that have been cancelled.

The Greatest Moments in Sport Head to Nine

In a time when most of the world’s biggest sporting leagues and competition have called a time out on their seasons, Nine’s Wide World of Sports continues its commitment to delivering fans some of the most unforgettable moments from the worlds of rugby league and tennis with two exciting and entertaining new programs.

Beginning this Friday night, April 3rd at 7:30pm AEDT, The Greatest NRL Grand Finals debuts on Nine for viewers in Sydney and Brisbane, available to watch later on 9Now for all viewers. Each week hosted by James Bracey, Nine’s panel of NRL experts including Brad Fittler, Andrew Johns and Phil Gould will break down the greatest moments from NRL history which have become legend, along with the greatest matches, the greatest tries, and the greatest Grand Final pre-game entertainment – plus the moments which didn’t quite go to plan!

They will be joined each week by players and celebrity fans who will re-live their favourite Grand Final memories, along with other members of Nine’s unrivalled commentary team, including ‘The Voice of Rugby League’ Ray Warren, Paul ‘Fatty’ Vautin and Peter ‘Sterlo’ Sterling. They will all be at their entertaining best as they uncover the stories behind the stories, the hits and misses of NRL in the 80’s, and much, much more.

Viewers at home will also be able to weigh in and have their say on social media to share their thoughts and greatest memories.

The Greatest continues at 3:30pm AEDT every Saturday afternoon with The Greatest Australian Open Matches, airing nationally on Nine, as former tennis stars and members of Nine’s tennis commentary team Todd Woodbridge and Sam Groth analyse some of the most memorable Australian Open matches in the history of our grand slam.

From every gruelling rally, to every lightning ace and passionate point, the duo will pull apart the greatest moments of some of the best tennis players in the world.

This week – the tightly-fought struggle between Aussie star Nick Kyrgios and Russian Karen Khachanov which ended in the tightest of margins from this year’s Australian Open, and the gripping 2005 women’s semi-final between Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova which went on to become an instant classic.

Based on program advice name change it looks like SA and WA will get a combined show.

Suncorp Super Netball will start its 2020 season on August 1 with a full 60-game fixture. The Constellation Cup series will still be held at the end of the year after the completion of domestic seasons in Australia and NZ.

Looks like Murdoch is trying to flex some more…

I thought Fox already had rights to the competition?

Fox Cricket does have rights to every match of men’s T20 World Cup, but if Nine pulls out, there will be no FTA coverage and fans will have to either buy tickets to the game, or subscribe to Foxtel or Kayo to see the action.

It’s on the anti-siphoning list isn’t it?

Channel Seven will probably get the rights seeing they are the home of cricket
