Is there a reason why Seven couldn't broadcast the match on 7Two? Would that be too ****ing logical?

Don't be stupid, we can't miss Alf! Screw the most important womens tennis match in Australia, Alf is where the action is!

In all fairness, Alf is a gun

Yeah the legislation protecting the right of Australians to view major live sport limits Seven putting the Tennis on 7two - it must be shown on the main channel always or no where at all - defies logic.

They are not allowed to use Seven TWO by law.

At least I can still watch this match now. But it is the 3 hour delay for Hewitt which pisses me off the most.

Guys, Today Tonight and Home and Away are much more important than the tennis!



Seriously though, this decision makes no sense. I mean, even just looking at it from a business standpoint. I can guarantee Stosur VS Williams will outrate Today Tonight and Home and Away.

Charlie's life hangs in the balance as Hugo desperately tries to cover his tracks. Meanwhile, Martha is still trapped in Derrick's car, unaware of Hugo's involvement.

I guess they couldn't predict the Stosur match being on.

But even still, if they're going to pay a fortune for the tennis rights then you'd think they'd maximise the use of them. Why spend money producing episodes of TT & H&A when the tennis would probably rate almost as well for no extra cost?

You know how you get the feeling that you can sometimes lift a player from sitting in your living room. Well **** YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Seven.

Haha, everyone join, and hopefully we make the papers or something.

And look Channel ****ed up 7, match finishes a 6.55, perfect timing to cut to the news and then come back for the Hewitt match don't you think.

They will probably just delete all the negative feedback overnight (or heavily moderate the post), but it's worth a try I guess.

 

[eastaugh36]

Get the bandwith then. It hardly costs that much, if it does your server sucks as it is a ripoff!

Well only 2 internet providers are available in our area so thats not an option.

 

[pies_this_year]

words cannot describe the anger i am feeling right now.

fair enough go to the news (even if 15 minutes of this were filled with brad and angelina and how lleyton is playing fed...seriously?) but then cutting to today tonight STILL when an aussie is playing the 4th round....AND THEN going to home and away when there is a tiebreak in the 4th set which would have fitted in well before the lley lley match (even if there was zero chance of that being played even if they did go to live coverage)

IF YOU ARE SO SELFISH YOU WONT GIVE ANYONE ELSE THE RIGHTS, THEN BLOODY SHOW US IT

i freaking hate resorting to crappy internet streams....

**** it...that is the LAST time I watch this stupid freaking station. i seriously havent been this angry in a long time.

 

[Caesar]

Tsonga match goes to five sets while some mindless shit happens on Home and Away.

This is appalling.

As much as I would like to agree, Today Tonight would easily outrate it. Sadly.

 

[Rohan25]

Holy shit, Darren Cahill is commentating! They must have read my post last night.

 

[SJ]

As good a match as Tsonga v Almagro was, I cannot believe they will show it after the Hewitt v Federer match, instead of the live Zvonareva v Azarenka match. Put it on after that. Live sport should always come first.

What are the odds we pick it up in the fourth set or something.

 

[TheTrav]

So Qld are getting a great deal at the moment, not even halfway through the first set lulz

 

[Samo123]

WAIT FOR IT!

the reason why Seven delay the tenis into QLD, SA and WA is because viewers want to see games in full even if on delay.

From AdelaideNOW (last year, but still)
"Because our viewers want to watch the entire match. That's the reason why we do it like that, that's what the feedback tells us," a national Seven PR representative said.

We also don't want to see 1/2 hr of filler before the game starts when you could be going to it live.

Seven are a joke

 

[damochandler]

7 have been a disgrace for years when it come too covering sports. if you not going to show it, don't bid for the sports and let sopmeone else show it and i can garuntee they will do a better job than 7

the more pathetic thing about this is tennis australia have praised them

It's all about the money though. TA will say anything.

 

[OzBomber]

I do like the appointment of Henri Laconte. Great commentator.

They won't even let you untick the "Yes, I want to keep sport on TV free." box.
