I know the anti-siphoning rules are a bit of a mess really, but if Foxtel can show the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics, it’s ridiculous if ONE (and other digital spin-offs) can only simulcast coverage of Ten.
I can’t wait for the Commonwealth Games – although whether Ten can show it on One without showing it on Ten, I’m not sure. If they can, having wall to wall Comm Games on One will be great – especially since it’s free.
At least you can see it in Perth – darwin??????
Credit to ONE for showing live sport into all centres (particularly WA) – I can only hope that other FTA networks will take notice and one day follow suit. Also keep up the great work on F1 and AFL coverage – looking forward to the 2010 seasons kicking off!
Sounds like a good season on ONE coming up. Especially looking forward to F1 season with the return of the King !
Live sport in WA….maybe 7 and 9 will take note…
It is labelled an HD channel yet most of the content is SD. Especially the local programming, apart from the AFL. Another FTA joke really.
Each and every month, ONE are showing more and more first run content and with it, more and more live sport. It has constantly been ‘bashed’ for showing repeats upon repeats, but that is fast changing.
For example, this coming Saturday, from midnight to midnight, there will be more than 20 hours of first run content and more than 16 hours of live sport.
Is there any news on when ONE will be on Foxtel sattelite? Its a bit annoying having to use a set top box for one channel when the others can be viewed on Foxtel
