Dylan Allcott is one of the commentators for the Men’s Doubles Final, which is happening right now.
His “shtick” is he’s a grumpy old man who often has embarrassing moments and makes social faux pas. If you don’t take him too seriously, he’s quite funny.
Andy Lee on 9 just then: “I’m hosting another show on Channel 10 at 7:30 Wednesday”
Did he really say that?
Yep - he then also urged viewers to watch MAFS just to balance it out!
A good win by Djokovic tonight. In 3 sets too.
James Bracey, Jim Courier and Lleyton Hewitt interviewed him after the match.
With it being a quick match tonight, they are now showing some of the Osaka-Brady match from last night as a filler.
Coverage finished just past 11:50pm.
James Bracey signed off by thanking TA and Craig Tiley, the Vic Government, Nine Network, Melburnians and his wwos team (“I love you all and it’s a privilidge to sit here”) before saying “it’s goodbye for now”, a super quick montage of Djokovic’s win and wwos production closer.
Expected. Didn’t help we had bland semis and final on top of that as well.
Saturday’s final will be on 9Now only, according to online guides released today.
Wouldn’t be surprised if that changes if Barty makes it into the final
The final is on Saturday night according to the schedule.
9Gem is showing Super Rugby that night, so if Barty makes it to the final, it will have to be on 9GO!.
I see it more as a joke in that nobody watches 10, desperate plug joke. It’s been done before.
It’s OK - nobody was watching the tennis then either.
There were 178 million minutes of live broadcast footage streamed on 9Now, up 10 per cent on 2020.
Certainly TV Ratings are down, but Streaming numbers are up each year. The peak of TV is long gone, but streaming is still on the rise.
