I’d rather watch it on telly than actually be there. The crowd is not what it used to be. Too many drunken screaming out of control teenagers and yobs !

Yeah it’s crazy not having it on a widescreen channel, at least it’s not PPV. Last year they replayed it a few weeks later on one of their widescreen channels but can’t remember which one. I’ve written to Foxtel trying to persuade them to move it to a different channel.

Good news as far as I’m concerned – it’s no extra cost to my package, the way it ought to be.

What a waste of an event showing it on Arena, it’s not even a widescreen channel. Pretty stupid really!!

yay! I’ll definitely be watching then. I wish though that it was still shown on free to air so that more people could see it!

Great news and great work Foxtel!

On top of all that – Aurora Community Channel is also running a 3 weeks of special Mardi Gra programming from Feb 21st, including short films and a new series of Queer TV.

Camp TV all round!
