Shame Ash’s game was delayed into SA! SBS need to get their act together and more live sport across the nation is required.

They’re generally good with ensuring sports air live across the country so guessing the fact that her game was a late addition to the schedule was behind that (not saying that as an excuse - the delayed broadcast was the wrong decision)
They have told me, you can watch it live onSBS demand. Well a bit bloody late now!
And in SA this is normal for SBS to have it delayed. Cycling races in spring up until this year were on delay.
According to the SBS page on Facebook, coverage starts at 8pm AEDT tonight.
They will show the remainder of the Djokovic v Thiem semi-final. The game stopped because of the rain. They have won one-set each.
The Barty game will follow, at 11pm.
(and looks like that Western Australia fans have to suffer, and watch the games on a two-hour delay)
According to online guides, WA will join in progress at 8pm local time, missing the first two hours of TV coverage.
Time zones suck, would’ve been awesome having a 7pm-ish start tonight.
Still, better night than any (Saturday) I suppose, with many staying up late in general and Queens Birthday long weekend.
If WA viewers are joining the coverage at 8pm local time, at least they’ll be able to see Barty’s final live. However, if the coverage is being delayed until then - that’s unacceptable and they should be using Viceland to air the remainder of the Djokovic v Theim SF

Like I say, if primary channel is not available, you use the multichannel.
That was the case back in 2014-15 Big Bash League Season where QLD, SA and NT had the match shown on a delayed telecast due to Family Feud and the Project. This caused a lot of outrange on social media demanding Network TEN to use ONE to televise the first portion of the match before switching to TEN at 7:30pm. Due to a 3-hour time difference, Channel 10 Perth made the right decision to move the prime time games live on ONE in HD in full.
Tonight’s broadcast times are
WA: 8pm-2am
SA and NT: 8pm-3.30am
Eastern states: 8pm-4am

What happened here? I can’t see it on.
SBS Facebook updated their story at 8pm, to say that the Djokovic-Thiem game is now online (sbs on demand). I don’t know why they updated the story so late into the night.

I knew something was odd when I switched from Seven to SBS at 8pm and saw the Princess Margaret documentary was on. Just found out SBS is streaming the men’s semi final online.
haha, I did the same thing. I was wondering why the Princess Margaret was still on at 8pm. I waited until 8.20pm and then realised the tennis wasn’t on the telly. And was online instead.

A shame Gabriel Gate last year on the tour with a best of special. Was one of the highlights every year. I’d often just tune in for that segment.

International Champions Cup was previously on Nine (including a mini tournament at the MCG in 2015 and 2016). It was not broadcast on TV in Australia in the past two years, so I am pleased SBS has picked up the rights.
