  1. You don’t show the AFL Footy Show – I don’t watch your television channel. Simple. How playing one show twice at the same time, instead of two shows with different demographics is supposed to increase your viewing numbers is beyond me.

    1. Nine does show AFL Footy Show, but it’s now later in Syd / Bris. In fact AFL fans in “the north” are now getting what NRL fans in “the south” have been getting for ages. The introduction of GO! has limited the network’s ability to multichannel 9HD at this stage. You can see they’ve also added Footy Classified later to Nine in Syd / Bris.

  2. Channel 9 should be embarassed with not showing AFL footytips show anymore
    mid season and without warning
    hope somebody with money can influence David Gyngell as it’s madness not to promote AFL with a new Sydney team coming

  3. I live in Sydney and the only channel nine program I religiously watched was the AFL Footy Show.

    Now its 11:30pm or nothing – looks like nothing wins

    Maybe the marketers might wake up the fact that a large portion of the viewers to this genre happen to have high dispoable income

  4. I cant believe Nine pumped the AFL footy show. The NRL footy show was on the decline and the AFL boys put together a great show – but why do we need to stay up until 11.30 to start watching it now.

    Not happy – especially mid season.

  5. +1 for the disappointment at the re-programming of the AFL footy show up here in QLD. I actually applauded Nine for doing something right for once, only to get it taken away even before the season has finished.

    If only there was a way to really show nine what a bunch of scumsucking, audience disregarding, money hungry operation they really are.

    First they wrecked the cricket and now this……

  6. finally I don’t have to accidently record that full of insipid crap afl footy show on 9hd when I want NRL. simulcast programming is the way to go….

  14. I watch the AFL Footy Show on 9HD at 9.30pm every Thursday night.
    Only a small percentage of the nation watches the NRL Footy Show. Broadcasting it on 9HD will not increase viewer numbers.
    Thanks Nein you scumbags.

  16. Good to see they’re making stuff on their main channel available in HD now that GO! is launching soon.
    I’m personally a fan of having the main channel simulcast in HD for all HD programming, but slotting in other HD stuff if the program being shown on the main channel isn’t available in HD.

    However if there isn’t a secondary channel available they should have as many breakaways on the HD channel as possible. 😛

  22. There was the hope for a brief moment when the 9 network may have had 3 shows on at once on some occasions – and Thursday night with the 2 footy shows would have been a great example of when there is the need. AFL fans north of Vic should not have to wait to see AFL show, when 9 can continue to carry the AFL show on 9HD, with NRL on 9 main.

    GO should not mean the death of all 9HD breakaways. It should in fact mean that now 9 can provide even greater programming variety while ensuring that all shows made in HD on 9 main are shown in HD (like Ellen, The View, ET, etc). And even GO shows that were made in HD could be shown on 9HD if the show on 9 main is not in HD. Another example, 9HD should do Go programming overnight instead of infomercials.

  23. What does that mean for us in the northern states regarding the AFL Footy Show? We got it at 9.30pm on 9HD. Does this mean we have to wait again for the scheduled 11.30pm delayed broadcast that has to wait on the rugby show running over then throw on a 30min news bulletin which results in the footy show not starting until 12.15 – 12.30am?
