So many problems are going to solved next year when the commercial free to air networks get their second SD channels up and running. All sporting and other live events can be broadcast on the second channel without interupting the regular programming. These channels should of been introducted years ago.

barrett, “Here we see why the TV anti-siphoning laws should be abolished.If stations cannot show sport LIVE in it’s entirety then their should be no restrictions on other media from showing it.”

barrett – I believe Nine’s rugby league coverage will be in HD as of next year.

It won’t start at 8.30 thats for sure….when was the last time 60 Minutes actually finished at 8.30?

Also Nine why isn’t this in HD?

Thankfully the situation will be a bit better for the next game, since they don’t have to show the Opening Ceremony and Welcome to Country Match highlights. But having to watch it delayed at all is ridiculous. It kills the sense of excitement when the whole thing is choppily edited together, especially when they go straight to the kickoff practically the moment the opening sequence ends.

I’m actually more concerned with what they did on Saturday night with the England vs Kumuls match – they put it on at 9.30 after a crappy five-year-old movie, for God’s sake. And it was a great game, it would’ve been a fantastic advertisement for the RLWC had it been shown at a time when people were watching.

Nine should move 60 Minutes to 6.30pm to allow for RLWC (Rugby League World Cup) to air at 7.30pm. In Queensland only, the league could be shown at 6.30pm followed by 60 Minutes. Simple.

No surprise here.
I, like many on this site, expressed my delight at Nine promising to show matches BUT we did mention how many would be LIVE or slotted into late night schedule.

Nine, true to form just blended the truth or altered their words.
Viewers mean nothing to Nine.
