Is it for once or for the entire tournament?
GEM is a rubbish channel and should be replaced with a WWOS channel with live sports nationwide like ONE HD.
Great news but 9 won’t do this for day night games. Those will probably still be shown at 11 or something.
@ JM… yea your right, sorry… show it live 🙂
Naturally there will be no HD on GEM. The stupid thing is that it can be downloaded and watched in high resolution.
9 are doing this because they cant win friday nights and they are up against the footy in some states. Anyway I think its a great idea and im not sure if its a coincedence that we are playing NZ but its good to see 9 do this.
Also would anyone be disappointed if we lose to NZ. Under normal circumstances I would be but it would be kinda nice to see them win.
Awesome news – that’s my afternoon and evening sorted 🙂 And yes, I can’t help feeling that Nine thinks they’ll get more viewers by having New Zealand in the game – maybe I’m just cynical or maybe I’m 100% right.
They probably thought there’s no way they’ll win the week ratings wise and this will probably rate better than a 2.5 Men and Mike & Molly repeat.
@Bill Gates – They did show the game… think ya first sentence is wrongly worded
Sweet!!!!
I absolutely gave them shite on their 9 news FB page (its the only one I knew) bagging the crap out of them for not showing the first australian game!
something along along the lines of the top ranked ODI team not getting the games shown live… how a joke we must be to the rest of the world 🙂
I mean, I have foxtel here, but not in the bed room, so I gave em what I thought 🙂
hopefully that helped too….
but yes, are they only doing this because its against NZ???
hmm… we shall see… till I goto bed, its on Foxtel HD tho 🙂
It’s a pity One couldn’t get the rights to the CWC – it’s 6 weeks of programming done.
Hi David, Nine Perth have confirmed they will show the game live from 12:00pm
I have a feeling this will be a one-off, tomorrow is the Australia vs New Zealand game, and I think they might be showing it just because of the earthquake (sad assumption I know) ….. I guess we will really find out when the next game is played!
This is a miracle! I’m totally shocked by this act of common sense!
Is this for only one game or more? semi finals and final should be live regardless if aussies make it or not.
good news anyway
I realise it looks like I overlook Nine viewers in SA and WA but Nine programming info is for their stations and WIN-owned stations advise separately (and never at the same time). As a general rule what plays on the East Coast is mirrored in SA / WA, with a particular nod to Melbourne as an ‘AFL state’. I would expect this to be live in all states but am unable to confirm right now.
……..and will they be doing this for all Australian World Cup matches or is it a one off because its vs NZ?
Adelaide Viewers??
It is a world cup after all! I hope their listening stretched further to at least the two semi finals and maybe a little more…
Love you channel 9! Keep up the Good Work!!!
Wow. Channel nine have made 3 good decisions in the 24 past hours.
Axing PLFE, Bringing back Survivor and now this. They’re on a roll.
this is great news, why it wasn’t originally scheduled this way is beyond me.
Wow, in glorious standard definition too. Nine really is the home of sport.
south australian viewers ?????
Well well. Nine has came to realise they made a mistake and have listened to the public.
