Foxtel has signed a broadcast deal for the 2009 Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras parade.
It will screen on the newtork’s pay per view Channel, Main Event, on March 7th.
Brian Walsh, said the organisation was proud to support such an iconic event. “We are thrilled to give people outside of Sydney an opportunity to experience the historic parade and the extravaganza surrounding it.”
Foxtel has previously aired Mardi Gras.

“….it was confirmed that on March 7th 2009 the Parade will be available in its entirety on a pay-per-view basis through FOXTEL’s Main Event channel.”
so it will definately cost money.
I love the way they say “we are proud to support”
then turn around and expect subscribers to fork out more of the hard earned
David, do you know if it will be free to watch?
just because its on main event doesn’t necessarily mean you will have to pay for it
sometimes some AFL games and rugby league games go on main event and they are free
I don’t want to pay to watch it, didn’t this use to be on free to air tv?
mmm, if it was on one of the regular channels I might have watched it but im not interested enough to pay extra onto my $100+ a month I already pay for foxtel, mardi gras isnt what it used to be anyway imo.
Do you know how much the event will cost to watch?
