They also have no rights to the Saturday Night NRL games and they probably figure that since 3 men and a dog are listening anyway that they may as well put this on instead.
Thanks @Jeffmister and @stmookeyj027 âŚ
Itâs not going to be a good look for âThe Home Of The NRLâ if there is a Saturday Night NRL blockbuster on and Triple M is airing an AFL game involving 2 Melbourne teams⌠regardless of whether they have the NRL rights or not.
Triple M need to negotiate better with both the NRL and AFL⌠I donât see 2GB getting locked into such agreements simply because sister station 3AW wants the rights in Melbourne.

Whatâs wrong with Roy & H.G?
Itâs got nothing on the DSL, I donât find it overly entertaining either. I think it couldâve been added to the weekend schedule but not dropping DSL entirely.

At least the Regional Triple M network have Roy & H.G on Sunday Mornings at 7.00am.
Thatâs because Talking Lifestyle are taking on those obligations through airing Crocmediaâs broadcast of Swans & Giants games
Thereâs no reason why they couldnât have kept DSL on Saturday (which was an ideal lead-in program for MMMâs Saturday NRL/AFL coverage) and put Roy & HG on Sunday which probably would be a better day for the program theyâre doing

Thatâs why I donât understand why they canned it. Maybe Rabs didnât want to do it anymore but agree 110%
I like listening to Luke Bona its better than 2ue and 2gb overnight. I occasionally hear it. Sort of like the spoonman. We do lack good talk back on 2ue and 2gb these days.

Never mind Triple M have got the talk back covered these days. Triple M is the new 2GB.

Listen to it when I have night shift and I like it, better than 2 songs 10 minutes of ads then repeat. Night shift is a different beast and something interesting or engaging is fantastic.
Its probably a direction 2ue could have gone in a parallel universe.

In Sydney, Triple M have got the Essendon vs Hawthorn AFL game on FM, but are airing music on Digital Radio.
They are using the same feed for Digital radio as they are for their online stream, as after every 3 or 4 songs there is a message stating something like âDue to broadcast right restrictions, we are not able to air the AFL online. However, you can listen to the AFL on the main channelâ. I am guessing this is the case in Melbourne as well on Digital Radio?
In the case of Sydney, the message should be the other way around ⌠something like âDue to broadcast rights restrictions, we are forced to air Victorian AFL games that no one in Sydney could give two hoots about here on 104.9⌠To hear Triple M music as it should be, you can listen to us online or on Digital Radioâ.

Itâs absolutely ridiculous that we get AFL on Triple M Sydney, sometimes even over an NRL game. Dan Ginnane always makes a point of saying how stupid it is.

Having any sport commentary on Triple M is just stupid. Bring back the music

Always one
I donât understand. Under the new AFL radio rights deal, Triple M can stream the match on its website. Also, tonightâs Essendon v Hawthorn match was special because it marked the return of 12 players banned by WADA for their involvement in the supplements saga. I doubt Triple M will broadcast another Saturday night match in Sydney unless it involves the Swans or the Giants.
Itâs a very peculiar situationâŚ
The return of those 12 players I donât think even got a mention in any of the Sydney papers, TV or radio (as far as I knew), so I donât see how Triple M Sydney could have used that as a significant event by local standards to warrant broadcasting it.
@Jeffmister posted in Post #521 (5 days ago) that MMM Sydney will be broadcasting a Saturday night AFL game every round this REGARDLESS of who is playingâŚ
But wasnât Triple M just broadcasting the same AFL match that Talking Lifestyle had?
