Why run two 7mates for the sake of local ads in two smallish markets?

Guessing it’s AFL related.
Because there is a limit as to how much idiocy one can put on the airwaves.

Oh no there isn’t… there so isn’t 
Side by side too. As in 7mate on 63, 7mate on 73. Bizarre.

Fox Sports is using FSN as an overflow to show Live golf from Singapore Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship as a result SNOW is following. I don’t know if this was done on purpose or not, I am guessing it was a last minute discussion to use FSN and SNOW simucasting FSN was overlooked
I just notice FSN is back on due to a weather delay in golf
why can’t they use 502 or 504 for overflow general sport, it is the off-season in both AFL and NRL and as there are no live events on these channels until the trade period and drafts, it makes sense.

A crucial by-election today yet Sky News on WIN is continuing to show Fox Sports News. There should have been some flexibility in the scheduling so that SNOW can show breaking news on weekends when needed.

I was meant to post the following on this thread, but couldn’t find it until now.

Yeah that is a strange decision… I wonder if someone simply forget to ask for it to happen.
There is flexibility, it’s not hard to issue instructions to Mediahub even with just a few minutes notice.
Yes!!
Despite the fact that I completely detest the primetime lineup on Sky News, I figured they’d likely have some reasonable coverage of the by-election.
Tuned in to SNOW tonight to find out what was going on and found sports news airing… all I could think was “How do WIN really consider this pile of shit to be a news channel”

Can anyone tell me why my Pop is getting Sky News on WIN but it’s just the audio and not visuals. I tried to re tune but no success, just says ‘invalid format’ yet you can still hear it.
is it MPEG4?
Yes it is
If he can’t get WIN HD then he won’t get SNOW either
Ok thanks. So what will need to change? The TV?
A new TV or a set top box which can receive these channels.
