Its also live on a dedicated channel on Foxtel. I’m not sure why this wouldn’t be mentioned in the story???
Usually run separate FTA and Subscription stories, otherwise people may miss the info. Plus times may vary.
Can anyone explain why The Masters is the only golf major on free to air TV? Are the other majors locked behind a paywall, or do the TV networks have the rights, but refuse to show them?
