Because State of Emergency (or in Victoria’s case, disaster) is something that is more important than a netball match?

I would have to agree that a state of emergency should have precedence than a sporting event. Nine did the right hing.

They could have at least put it onto one of the other channels!!!
Suncorp Super Netball announced the fixture for rounds 4 to 6 this afternoon. Again there will be a whole round of matches which won’t be shown on FTA (Round 5, August 18-19).
Disgraceful from the Nine Network
2022 cannot come fast enough. Give it to Seven please
And how Seven will treat it better?

Ah yes, give it to Seven, who will have more sports to clash with and will bump it to 7Two in crystal clear 120p.

The only matches not being broadcast on 9 are Tuesday and Wednesday matches and the usual NRL clash.

Well- it won’t go to Ten won’t it? Channel Seven is the only other network that could have the rights now.
Anyway, the fact they won’t put any matches on mid week is disgraceful. It is still a round!
9 only show it because they are paid to. It’s not 9’s fault which matches they show. Telstra TV gets a certain number and 9 gets a certain number.

Considering Nine has been airing 3 games a weekend (rather than 2 like they have in previous seasons), Telstra TV showing all of the midweek games is probably needed to ensure they get enough games.
