Makes you wonder why Nine didn’t show more of the marquee pool matches and quarter finals on GEM also.
The NZ v SA match last night was on everywhere, in the venues, with more people watching that your average league match
I just wish Nine would quarantine all the cricket to GEM. I’m sick of my favourite programs such as Hot Seat and A Current Affair being pulled to show endless hours of this cr*p, especially four weeks into the NRL season with the AFL about to start.
You properly find that cricket probably out rates these programmes hence why they show it on nine stead
It is very interesting that last year most of the time Nine News had the viewers but now Seven News is doing much better with viewers. Personally I like Seven News better. Just thought that it was interesting.
@AAQIB Mornings is ahead of The Morning Show. The average of 150,000 / 101,000 for TMS is 125,500, whereas Mornings rates 139,000.
Incorrect, The Morning Show has an extra half hour on Mornings… apples to apples and TMS is still ahead.
good figures for mornings. closing the gap on the morning show.
Watched a very good cricket match last night. That just illustrates there is a place for some matches to be broadcast on free to air that don’t involve Australia during a big event such as a world cup. Its seems lately there is a push for more sports on foxtel. With two multi channels per network available there should be a place for free to air viewers to access more sporting matches especially when you consider those channels are often filled with repeated content. As someone who focuses more on timely availability of content rather than picture quality it came as a surprise how noticeably better the picture quality on gem was last night for the cricket. I further get the push for more sport in HD.
Yep, keep all major sport on free-to-air.
I too noticed a better picture on GEM,especially the umpire’s review of whether the ball had deflected of the spider cam guy wires,could clearly see the wires against the night sky whereas I wouldn’t have noticed them in SD.
Pic is updated thanks!
Hi David
the picture depicting yesterday’s cricket match shows the Australian team – who weren’t playing. It was South Africa vs New Zealand.
I don’t know why you’ve got a photo of Aussie players, Australia wasn’t playing yesterday.
