Long-time AO world feed caller and now main one (after former long-time main Aussie broadcasting veteran Peter Donegan departed some years ago), Britain’s Mark Petchey, appears to be watching our own Nine Network’s bvod service tonight!

Hotel room? Is he partaking in commentary duties for anyone at any of the lead-up tournaments?

It’s the Qualifiers which happen from the 8th-12th. Main Draw begins 14th. Only streamed on 9Now with no TV coverage
9Now seem to put event live streams up a week beforehand.

Do you have a source stating that it is being upgraded to HD in metro areas soon?

No.
Then please be more clear instead of assuming it will be available by Olympics.
Probably planned but not announced.

Will be interesting to see the ratings for this match on 9Go. Last night’s BI didn’t feature anywhere in the ratings.

Emma Lawrence is a bit green hosting.
Note that Nine has moved the United Cup to the main channel on Wednesday in prime time.
On Day 6 of the United Cup at the RAC Arena in Perth, teams face off in the Quarter-finals! Whilst at the Ken Rosewell Arena in Sydney, Greece take on Canada. Live play continues.
New schedule:
Note that 9Gem programming will go back to its usual - As Time Goes By, Death on the Nile. Missed opportunity to put Brisbane International on 9Gem.
Update: United Cup out of Nine’s Thursday prime time schedule moved to 9Gem.
9Gem night coverage: 05:30 - 11:00 pm AEDT
And on Friday United Cup is now on 9Gem.

Viewers just don’t associate 9Go! with sport, let alone being grainy SD. IMO this tournament is better / more popular than the UC, big names like Rafa Nadal too! Andy Murray should’ve got way more last night. Perhaps they don’t want to be chopping and changing channels too much to avoid viewer confusion. Better promos and in-program cross promos/live crosses should help.

I don’t tell Nine on their Facebook pages, what they should do with their tennis broadcasts anymore.
How has this been working out, may I ask?
