This is pretty poor imo. So like the French Open, Nine has decided the tennis is not worthy of main channel coverage anymore. They’re going to chop and change depending on the night or who’s playing.
What was wrong with the previous model of early coverage on multichannels followed by main channel coverage after primetime?

Maybe they make more money playing Home Shopping on the main channel?
If Nine are showcasing Wimbledon on 9GO, I will be so disappointed that I cannot watch the most prestigious grand slam in HD unless I pay for Stan Sport. I agree, Nine should revert to the model they used for tennis last year

I know she’s “retired” but normally the defending champion (Barty) would play first match on the Tuesday, could be related to celebrating that maybe.

No finals on the main channel. I don’t really care about the main channel crap but I don’t understand why there.

Probably lost interest with no Barty?
Or does Nine have something major on that weekend?

Finals are after 10.30pm on the Saturday and Sunday. No FTA networks air anything that exciting post 10.30pm. So no, Nine wont have anything major on the weekend anyway. lol

It’s bizarre why Nine isn’t planning to air the finals on the main channel. They did the same thing for the French Open and it was a puzzling decision then too.

No Barty = No Main Channel Party

Is something wrong downstairs at Nine? They’ve used the news set for everything lately.
Is presentation coming out of Sydney or Melbourne?
Probably easier to just use the News Set for Wimbledon and not impact other programming that comes out of the GTV sport set (Footy classified etc)
It’s only used for 6pm nightly and that’s it.

Melbourne. That desk is not in Sydney.
