AO tv coverage

[Caesar]

That presupposes Sandy Roberts knows something about tennis.

He and Bruce McAveny somehow manage to sneak into the coverage on the basis of football-mad Victorians thinking that they're commentary geniuses.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

I don't see why Woodbridge can't partner Courier. He speaks well and actually knows something about the game. All Bruce offers is latent homosexual comments about players and dumb questions.

 

[iDon]

Stosur starts losing so they head to an australian that is winning.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yes! Murray is losing as well!

 

[cramdogs]

I didn't realise australia was the only country with a flag.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Get Fox....has all the games

 

[Righteo]

How else would we know they are little Aussie true blue battlers though?

EDIT: Henri! **** yeah!!

 

[Amazing Bombers]

The only one I can't really stand is Bruce.

Hamish is possibly my least favourite person on TV, such a smug bastard and is absolutely clueless about most sports, stat peddler

Well I meant commentary wise but hosting wise him and Jo Griggs are so annoying.

 

[red+black]

Its horrible for the night sessions in Perth as per usual

Alas, for Perth Audiences, the tournament's important matches, the final for men's and women's are on delayed

I thought the BS anti-siphoning laws stipulated that the AO Open has to be shown on SD-FTA, live and in its entirety? Or do the laws only apply for Melbourne and Sydney?

 

[Xtreme]

Our mate Hamish was at it again just moments ago, saying that the silver lining to Stosur's loss was that she lost in the first round of Wimbledon before going on to claim the US Open title. So she's looking good at the French .

 

[Amazing Bombers]

One of the positives is that they still show the tennis on 7two when they go to the news on 7.

Channels should do this with all major sporting events really.

 

[red+black]

Just leave it on the HD channel.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Yeah, just in case we didn't know Hewitt and Stosur are Australian

Leave the tennis on 72 - there is nothing decent on 72 anyway. But I am sure they can only show one 'match' at a time.

And among the 7 'personalities', Griggs has to be the worst. She hosts one show a week and gets rolled out for this.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Just leave it on the HD channel.

Which would be 7Mate...

I'm pretty sure anti-siphoning laws would stipulate that the AO must be on 7 rather than 7two.

Plus not all analogue signals have been turned off yet so there is still probably people out there without digital TV (very small percentage I would say).

 

[clees]

Sorry of this has been posted before, but does anybody know a site to stream the tennis from?

 

[Heisenberg_]

Why do we need to watch Kim Clijsters win 6-0 6-1 when there is some really tight games being played?

 

[XFactor1979]

Get Fox....has all the games

In england for Wimbledon, all you need is the Freeview box for BBC
and you can actually watch all the matches for Wimbledon on Freeview, without needing to subscribe to pay tv

 

[GreekLunatic]

Also why does channel 7 during the lleyton hewitt match focus so much on his wife. Jo Griggs needs to be gone she is hopeless.

So....we are not in England..as I said get Fox.

 

[Righteo]

Ch 7 have sunk to a new low with Basil bloody Zempilas commentating now, is there a single decent Tennis commentator in Australia that isn't American?

I'm hoping Isner loses just so I don't have to hear Hamish calling him "Long John" every 2 minutes.

Nearly lost it when Hamish called Dolgopolov - Dogopolov.... unless the first l really is silent and i am misinformed.

He (Hamish) is still a muppet.

Do you mean "dolgo-polov", almost seperately? I hate Hamish but that is how you pronounce it.
He called Bachiner "bashinger" and Kohlschreiber some weird Kohlschreeber or something.
In the past I've heard him call Jelena Dokic Elena Dokic, on several occasions. I mean you idiot there's a J there.
