I was actually surprised they will be airing the Eve show before midnight on the main channel. Was expecting it on GEM with a movie on Nine.
Interesting to see if The Sunday Footy Show Grand Final Eve show outrates the The Footy Show Grand Final. That would be kind of embarrassing.
Full line-up revealed.
But is still scheduled for a midnight start in Sydney, despite GWS being in the Grand Final. Work that outâŚ
Not sure why they donât just run it on GEM.
It may be streamed on 9Now for fans in Sydney and Brisbane.
i was planning on connecting to my VPN which has an australian port in melbourne and watching it live
Typical Nine, look I am no AFL fan in fact its to me stupid rubbish (yes I am trying to be offensive with that) game watched by a few people in Sydney but Nine especially TCN Nine deserve a backhander from AFL for not promoting the Titans since the Eels lost, they have the entire market to themselves right now and what does TCN Nine do? um lets have more repeats of TBBTâŚ
Yes I know itâs the Giants but I am being sarcastic.
As if Nine Sydney would ever show a Grand Final edition of The AFL Footy Show in primetime when the actual game will be airing on Seven (so any promotion of GWS this week will be to their commercial advantage) AND while they have NRL finals coverage to protect!
Sure, a few Sydneysiders will be excited about the prospect of GWS appearing in the Grand Final. But letâs be realistic here: the real football grand final in the eyes of the majority of TV viewers in this market (even if the game happens to be Raiders v Storm - a possible nightmare for both Nine and the NRL) is happening on October 6 at ANZ Stadium. No doubt Nine are well aware of this and have made their programming decisions accordingly because whether we like it or not, the network has to schedule programs on their Sydney station which appeals to the majority of the local audience if theyâre to get ratings/advertising/profits.
As sad as it is, Big Bang repeats would probably get more Sydney viewers for Nine than a show about AFL. If you need proof, just look at how Nine News Sydney smashed it in the ratings on the recent Saturday nights when their bulletin aired during the usual timeslot while Seven showed AFL matches which affected the scheduling of their 6pm news.
But donât expect Garry Lyon and James Bradshaw to make Appearances although they Hosted the show for 10 Years Before Lyonâs Depression ended it all.
Iâm sure they will be referenced via archival footage.
A screencap appears at the start of tonightâs extravaganza, saying the episode is dedicated to the memory of former GTV managing director Ian Johnson, who launched the AFL Footy Show in 1993.
Posted by someone in the audience.
Poor Rebecca, she went to hospital yesterday with laryngitis. She appeared at the start of the show but could not speak at all.
It would be Eddie and Sam doing most of the talking. She will perform in the player revue though.
Trevor Marmalade! Blast from the past
How the hell does Nine get access to the trophy???
They asked the AFL?
They get access to it every year no?
Itâs not a full house at Rod Laver Arena for tonightâs event. I notice dozens of empty seats near the top level.
In the past the grand final show would have been sold out for weeks.
