But, after months of negotiations and a long back and forth, hopes the new Ignite Cup in-season tournament would take pride of place in prime time on the Seven Network on Wednesday nights have been dashed.
CODE Sports has been told the the two parties were unable to reach agreement on which medium the games would be broadcast on.
So maybe 7 wanted it on 7mate & NBL wanted it on main channel?
Maybe 10 could have tried to get them but they would have have the same problems. They have shows (Big Brother) Wednesday which would need the main channel slot during Oct-Dec & also Feb too
