Water Polo Australia says every water polo game at the World Swimming Championships will be streamed live on 9Now. The women’s team begins its campaign against France this Sunday morning (July 16) followed by the men’s team on Monday.

V/o for commercial doesn’t say when the broadcast is, that is left to the graphic though it does say “Nine and 9Now”.
Poor effort from the world feed if they can’t have a good quality feed going.
9Now will cover more WNBL matches in the 2023/24 regular season, according to the fixture released today. 9Now’s coverage begins on Friday night, November 3, when Perth Lynx host Sydney Flames.
In return, 9Now will only stream the first match of semi final 1 and 2, and the first match of the grand final series live.
The WWOS HD bugs in the top right seem totally unnecessary when there is already a Nine logo in the bottom right…. And they assume everyone will watch it in HD? Woe Imparja viewers who don’t even have that option.
The bug is there because they were shown during the State of Origin broadcast rather than in the ad break.
It’s not actually in the ad mate, that was just because it was played during SOO…
It’s another way to get around the advertising limits for commercial TV. So that these segments count as program content rather than promos.
You sometimes even get early promos for shows like The Block coming up as being part of the SOO program.
Nine Forgot to air Day 12 of the Wimbledon Pre-Game in Victoria and Western Australia again.
Was there any pregame for Brisbane?
“forgot”?
Day 2 coverage is on 9Now this morning.
Coverage on main channel will start on Sunday 23 July (labelled as Day 1 in the guides). Most days will consist of heats at 11:30 am with finals in premie time around 9:00pm. Coverage will be on the main channel, 9Gem and 9Go! depending on day. Will post full sports schedule for Nine later today.
Like the Channel 9 of old 
Wimbledon and Swimming (OG broadcaster for decades) with the likes of Ken Sutcliffe, Fred Stolle, John Newcombe, Ray Warren, Duncan Armstrong and Nicole Livingstone. In 2001 (OzTam’s first year), Nine scored the No. 1 and No.3 programs with Wimbledon final (aussie Rafter) 3.03m metro and FINA World Championships 2.5m.
Good to see Nine airing swimming and the home of swimming in Australia. Ratings were massive in 2001 when 9 aired the World Swimming Championships
You don’t say
Good get for Nine. Seem to recall swimming doing well for them back in 2001.
The sport has spent a little bit of time in the broadcasting wilderness - will be interesting to see the ratings for the week that is broadcast on TV.
That was always a mystery for mine, even in 2008 (Nine’s last year of their original run IIRC before moving to “ONE HD” with Ten AFL’s Anthony Hudson calling - their years were also good) audience had started to head south and an Olympic year with Beijing (on a rival TV network though), even by mid-2000s, while Olympics and other sports and FTA in general was still at a high if not growing (e.g.) MasterChef from 2009. Who to blame, if any? FINA? Swimming Aus? IOC? Broadcasters? Media? Marketing? Athlete drawcards dwindled? Competition? Lost its spark? All of the above?
