That is their plan.
Thanks for the caps throughout the day and night Brad, they’ve been much appreciated. 
Rather interesting to see that the Good Friday Appeal was actually broadcast in native HD (for the first time ever probably?) this year!

3DB was certainly there from a long way back but they weren’t a founding partner. The appeal dated back to the 1930s as a sports day run by the Sporting Globe newspaper. 3DB, being part of the Herald and Weekly Times group like the Sporting Globe, first got involved in 1942 with its first radio appeal. Then of course HSV7 from 1957, so technically this was the 61st telethon.
Possibly was in HD during the 2000s before 7mate took over HD.

Could taking the appeal off air and showing the AFL affected the outcome of the final tally?
They should’ve put the appeal on 7Two while the AFL was on Seven

I assumed it was because Seven wanted the biggest audience possible for the game?
Remember, one of the reasons the game went ahead, was the AFL collaborating with the Good Friday Appeal.

Jennifer Keyte is a big supporter of Good Friday Appeal and has appeared on the appeal’s promotion campaigns in the past. But can she continue the role when she joins Ten later this year, given Seven is a partner of (and has broadcast rights to) the appeal?

I think the obvious answer here is no, it only seems to be network talent and ‘celebrities’ of sorts.

Pretty much. She is patron of the Good Friday Appeal but I’m sure that role will be relinquished in going to Ten.
Agreed. The chances of seeing Jennifer Keyte on the 2019 Good Friday Appeal are approximately the same as those of Lisa Wilkinson being part of the 2018 Gold Telethon (different network/market I know, but still): 0%
