ACT/NSW/QLD - TV Coverage - Again!!!

[timmytow]

Sorry to harp on about this...but I think it is time action must be taken.

Yet again Foxtel and Seven are showing Syd v Ric at the same time this Sunday.

Good Side = Dees will annihilate the Saints
Bad Side = We have to wait until the 7:30pm or 12:00am replay to see it.

'Promoting the game' hahahaha haha more like promoting a team!

Does anyone have a good email address to direct a complaint to in the AFL?

It's actually the TV stations/foxtel that you should be complaining to.

I can't believe they do that, that's terrible. It would be the same coverage as well wouldn't it? Maybe you could spread the word for everyone to watch the seven coverage to try and boycott the foxtel coverage or something, what a joke.

Sunday AFL Coverage in ACT, NSW and QLD
Dear Sir/ Madam,

For a third week this year both Foxtel and Channel Seven are showing the same game, at the same time, on the same day into the ACT, NSW and QLD.
This Sunday's game between Sydney and Richmond will be shown live on Foxtel and Seven into ACT, NSW and the QLD leaving no live coverage of the 2pm game.

We can understand the need to expose the Sydney and Brisbane based teams into their respective areas. However we see no reason why at least one of the two channels can show the alternative game. After all we thought the idea was to promote the 'Game' rather than select teams. We have also noted the games shown have been blow outs, while the other, 2.10 games have all been close contests.

Seven really needs to have a look at this seriously as this does not occur for any other sport in Australia. We have also noticed that Seven sometimes shows alternate AFL shows into the ACT, NSW and QLD on Seven HD (Sunday's at 10:30am). At the very least we would have thought the 2.10 game could be broadcast on Seven HD as you are already covering the game for Victorian viewers.
This is not a one off situation and we are not sure it has been picked up by Seven, the AFL or Foxtel.

Many other ACT, NSW and QLD based AFL fans would like to see some action taken on this. If need be a petition will be distributed and delivered to you.

Regards,
