Airdate: Thursday Night Live

By David Knox on March 15, 2009 / Filed Under Programming 11

bilwoodsBill Woods will host a new live to air sports programme on ONE every Thursday night.

Titled simply Thursday Night Live, the show will delve into the week’s big issues and look at the week across the globe.

Airing two hours before Nine’s Footy Show editions, it will cover everything from AFL, NRL, cricket, swimming and netball to “the wacky wife carrying and underwater rugby.”

It begins Thursday April 2nd.

A half hour 7pm edition of Sports Tonight will also air each weeknight hosted by Brad McEwen from Monday March 30th.

    Dear Bill,
    we really enjoy Thursday Night Live and were pleased you gave some rare Recognition to our Top Speedway Rider Jason Crump. Only last Saturday Night he blitzed the opposition at Millenium Stadium in Cardiff in front of almost 50’000 fans.

    Crumpy is now well on his way to becoming Australia’s First Triple World Champion as the Series has a break at the half way mark to make way for The World Team Cup of Motorcycle Speedway, an event that may see Jason Captain the Australian Team.

    There is always plenty of other information on the SGP Website or indeed the Jason Crump Racing Site.

    Thanks and keep up the Good Show.

    This show promised so much and delivers so little.
    A couple of observations…

    The reason the diver can’t get sponsorship? He’s gay!

    The bagging Terry Wallace has been getting ? You showed a lot of papers that’s because its not the supports that are writing the headlines, its the journalists!

    Either get some hosts with common sense or at least someone who can tell it like it is.

    What a dissapointment

    This looks & sounds good. Lets hope the viewers watch it so it ends up having a long and succesful future, simmilar to sportsworld.

    Looking forward to this show.

    Unlike WWOS, Ten has built a real pedigree of sports reporting over the last decade or so with Sports Tonight, so this should be a good show.

    Hopefully with Woods doing this show maybe they will bring back Ron Wilson to the 5pm news!

    So I’m guessing this is a 5:30pm slot in WA???

    And will it be in HD? If not it makes a further mockery of this channel.

    Yes will RPM be back on the main SD channel?

    Looks like Ten trying to deliver some sports discussion shows rather than “entertainment or self promoting tripe.

    Utility man Bill Woods does more presenting than anyone else on Ten. At least it wasn’t Rusty doing this one. Even the guys from AMA SX on Speed are less annoying.

    What about RPM?

    That’s in addition to ‘One Week at a Time’ launching on Monday 30th March at 7.30pm right after Sports Tonight 7pm edition.
