“The NFL Pro Bowl (featuring players from both National and American Football Conferences of the league) will be shown on ESPN on Foxtel only.”

….According to the Advance guides on this site Ten HD will show the Pro Bowl from 10 am Monday morning Feb 9.

I’m confused! – why does the SuperBowl start in 8hrs 56 mins (SuperBowl Website), but Ch 10 are showing it live on Monday 10am?

This Really Sucks than Ten have chosen not to air the SuperBowl Live. I Hope they lose the rights to it next year. Typical of TV Programmers who really should be bagging groceries. SBS for the future of our sport.

Now Ten have got it, its not shown in all markets. As I live in country WA and it is not on here. Sooner its back on SBS the better.

FFS, I have Foxtel but being its on ESPN it will be in 4:3 and to get the widescreen version I will have to watch the “live” coverage on Ten. Geez I am so sick of networks not changing for other states. You broadcast differently so why not change and give live coverage. Seven take note as well!

Wow. Thanks Channel 10, for showing the Super Bowl “live at 10am in all markets”. And here I was thinking I was going to miss the start of 9AM With David and Kim because of those dastardly Americans scheduling the game to start at 9am Brisbane time, but now that I know that it will be “live at 10am in all markets” that takes a load off. Thanks again Channel 10.

Johnson –

You are fatally confused. I am not sure where you got your infomation, but the correct spelling is “Super Bowl.”

Its great that its on ten but the cenario with the time zone is really poor. hopefully when onehd starts they will show sports live in every capital city seeing how it is a sports channel. if they dont onehd will fail and it will discourage the other 2 commercial networks to launch their sports channels no question about it.

Welcome to australia! I have found that you all get screwed over on 99% of things, so why not the superbowl as well? I am happy at least to get to see it, took me a while to learn that SBS showed it here, but have watched it since… 10 seemed to be okay for a tv station, and am glad they will be covering alot of american sports, but if they have made it so that this year by their not being ready to air it for everyone, they should also let sbs show it as well so everyone who wants to can watch… Makes sense to me, but as not much else does here, doesnt really surprise me… Way to go australia, never cease to make me shake my head in disgust/bewilderment…

Ive watched every one of the games leading to the playoffs or as we call them: ‘finals’, but because we dont have daylight saving in QLand (hooray [note the lack of caps David *chuckle*]) it lags a bit which is a pain in the mitka when discussing the game on US NFL Forums, one has to log onto the NFL site to get an animation of where the game is at. grrrrrrrrrr!

Not broadcasting Live sucks big time This reminds me of that stupid debacle with Nine when they ‘covered’ the Superbowl a few years back. They showed Humphrey B Bear instead of the kick-off so Nine didn’t even bother to show the first 30mins of the game whatsoever. Lucky that they only tried it once, and then it went back to ABC/SBS. Probably similar thing will happen to Ten – this would be the one and only for a while and ABC/SBS will pick it up next year for a proper coverage.

“they shouldn’t really be able to call something live if it is only live in 2 out of 8 capital cities”

It will also be Live in Canberra and Hobart, but yes it should be live everywhere. I’m pretty sure that in previous years when SBS, ABC, Nine and Seven have shown the Superbowl it has been live to every market.

If that’s true, then TEN suck the big fat one. Very very very poor effort by TEN there. Shocking, inexcusable.

It’s inexcusable if youre showing a delayed version in other states. That is just nonsense. SBS always showed it live in all markets in previous years. What’s the big deal if you show it live in Adelaide at 930, or Perth at 800? Who cares about some early morning show that might be usually on at that time. This is the superbowl! Same as the Olympics, or the Soccer World Cup. Or if there’s some breaking world news that ends up canceling whatever was on the TV at the time. Or when the cricket is on and normal scheduled programs get canceled. It’s just one occasion a year when the Superbowl is on. Whatever nonsense that’s on normally at 8am and 930am in Perth and Adelaide gets shown 24/7 and can take a day off surely!

C’mon guys/gals at TEN. Dont mess this up please.
Seriously, you need to change your minds on this and make it live in all states in their respective timezones.
I cannot believe how pathetic TEN will be if they do not show this live. And remember about your marketing for the ONE program. How can you guys be taken Seriously if you dont show the Superbowl live?

Im flabbergasted. This is BS.

Thanks David for the clairification. I hope when One HD starts in April, all states will be ‘live’, since it would make no sense to have a delayed broadcast of One HD outside Sydney and Melbourne.
