As men’s Sri Lanka test goes to main channel.
With women’s Ashes on 7mate in HD.
Horse racing stays on 7Two.
updated 3pm
Changes have happened 30min earlier than scheduled, most likely due to the Sri Lanka test beginning earlier again to catch-up on lost play following the suspensions due to rain. Bad weather forecast again later today too.
I’d imagine each telecast would’ve advised of the channel changes, Bathurst’s particularly unfortunate (though 7flix is in HD on 7Plus).
I think that’s because Seven produced the whole coverage including the world feed.
One of the reasons Nine liked this deal was so they weren’t having to spend more money on production, I know where you’re coming from, but why wouldn’t they use a feed that’s already mostly prepared for them.
Nine still do their own too, be it packages, highlights, replays, live-crosses, studios and during matches as you mentioned putting their own commentators, graphics and stats on, as well as going to shots from around the grounds or other courts.
I think since 2019 it’s more a collaborative relationship between Nine and TA, they’re kind of joined at the hip.
