If I had to have a guess, it think it will shown on 7TWO or Seven could give the rights to Ten, at least that way Ten will have a summer sport to show 
.
Does anyone actually watch this these days?
Yes, it can still pull a decent TV audience. The race start is a Boxing Day tradition. Last year the coverage attracted 403,000 metro viewers.
Its about time Seven either make 7Mate or 7Two into a HD channel
Re, the Sydney to Hobart yacht race coverage: Do we know when Seven last signed a broadcast deal for that and for how long?
Presuming that Seven still has the rights to the Sydney to Hobart for this year, I could imagine the start of the race + other long-form coverage airing on 7TWO (I donât think yacht racing would be of much interest to the target demographic of 7mate) with Sydney to Hobart updates on the main channel during ad breaks of the cricket coverage.
Iâd imagine that Seven (and probably all networks) will likely have all their channels available in HD when we eventually transition to DVB-T2/HEVC or whatever system the industry adopts for the 2nd generation of digital terrestrial television broadcasting in Australia.
But until then, unfortunately I canât see the current situation changing anytime soon. Do I think itâs annoying that only one Australian network is currently running two MPEG4 HD channels on DVB-T? Yes, but it is what it is.

We usually watch it in the Iunch break of the cricket.
Seven really need to invest in a new set for Game Day. Itâs looking very tired these days.
It must be almost 10 years old?

Yeap, theyâve used the same set ever since the show began in March 2008. Also, Talking Footy really needs a new set as well.

Game Day set has had I think one refurbishment in that time.
Talking Footy I donât think needs any change to the set. It works perfectly as it is.

Will 7 be announcing which NFL games theyâre covering or is it purely looking up each week whatâs on?
So far the season opener between Philadelphia and Atlanta next Friday week, September 7, is confirmed to be shown on 7mate.
Games are selected on a week-by-week basis. However, theyâll air all games which fall under the âSunday Night Footballâ package or are played on Thanksgiving.
The Melbourne Cup is set to switch from Seven to Ten, according to reports in The Australian. Ten will start broadcasting it from 2019.
