Veteran Footy Show star Sam Newman met with Nine executives yesterday including CEO Hugh Marks.
It was agreed discussions would continue.
“We agreed with Sam we would continue to look at opportunities together for 2019, discussions are ongoing,” a Nine spokesperson has told AFL.com.au.
Nine belatedly announced a return of The Footy Show in a hastily-amended press release for its Upfronts last week, but it is understood to have merely been an indication of a Thursday AFL show.
The Footy Show in its current form is not expected to resume.
Newman recently delivered an on-air eulogy in case the show would not return over summer.
