*Rant rant*

Well, it was eventually; after the footy.

What a joke!

774 were the '4th' (re: 'last' and least significant) station to cover the same game for the Melbourne market.

If they wanna transmit the game for the national audience, then fair enough, but why do we in Melbourne need 4 stations doing the same game and no cricket!

Bloody Tim Lane and his "774 Footy is highly relevant" rubbish is dead and gone. I've heard is argument that 774 is way more than just a public servive who should 'take up the slack' many times, and I don't buy it.

774 is a non-commercial public service

I don't like having a TV on my dashboard or on my bike.....or in the shower, or the garden, or on me when I'm walking me dog :)

The situation on the ABC is no different in Sydney on Friday night, so it is not just a Melbourne thing.

We get the broadcast of the Rugby League instead of the cricket on 2BL while ABC News Radio carries the AFL match.
