Australian Open 2009 television coverage bitch thread

[OzBomber]

Lopez v Muller isn't on Fox Sports.

I thought it would've been on atleast one of their 2 channels. I remember a couple of years ago when they had active they had about 6 different matches that you could watch.

 

[Power King]

Just me or are Dittmar and Fitzgerald ordinary commentators?

I noticed that. Sam Groth. Scorecard shows that he's pushed Fish a bit. Good on him.

3 fricking channels(7/fox2/fox/3) and I cant watch this bloody epic game.

And all the streams on the net had Dokic as well.

 

[B-Bomber]

The most interesting thing about this match is observing the slow creep of the shadow across the court.

 

[Kaan]

7/fox2/fox3 if one of them don't show the Safin then I'll go ****ing shoot everyone that works for them.

 

[pepsi]

Biggest win for Dokic in 5 years and I am glad 7 showed it. Was tense.

Wrong thread pal

As usual 7 have delayed the night session by 30min in SA so we can all see home and away.

Wasn't it just some gripping television that just had you stuck to your seat. The acting was superb as well. Especially when Jack's dad finds him dead. Superb acting.

Seven showed the 3rd set at about 12:30.


For those that know, is any court other than Laver, Hisense, Margaret Court, SC2 and SC3 able to be covered by TV Cameras? Bit like Wimbledon only has cameras on about 5 courts.

 

[Giants FC]

Don't think so, there's no place for the cameras to go on the outside courts - the stands are side-on and the ends are just blue tarpaulin.
When a match is nearly finished the TV camera crews sometimes come round to the end of the grandstand to film the last couple of points, but they are on an angle.

 

[Kaan]

I'm absolutly sick of this ridiculous coverage from Fox Sports AND 7.

Yesterday they didn't show the Roddick game on Rod Laver, now I cant watch the Murray game on Rod Laver. What do these people have against Rod Laver Arena games first up

 

[Giants FC]

Normally the TV rights arrangement is that Fox can't show a match live on Rod Laver or Hisense.
But surely when Ch 7 elect to show a game on Margaret Court, SC2 or SC3, that should be suspended and Fox allowed to show RLA or Hisense.

 

[XFactor1979]

if you ever watched the coverage of wimbledon in the Uk they have the best coverage on bbc2

you can choose to watch the main match on centre court

or you can watch 1 of 9 other available matches on the other courts if you pressed the red button on your remote

 

[Heisenberg_]

JA being allowed to commentate Hewitt matches. I can deal with bias, but he is just too much.

 

[Kaan]

7 showing Gooch replay.
Foxsports2 showing Berrer vs Ball
Foxsports3 showing Medina vs Holland

Where the ****ing mother **** is the Monfils or Tsonga games? This has to be the worst coverage of all the slams. They pick all the bloody shittest possible games for the viewers. I cant believe they aint showing one of the most exciting players Tsonga and Monfils.

 

[damochandler]

fox sports is doing a great job and seven are doing their usual crap job of covering the tennis and sports in general.

Fox Sports are doing a shit job IMO.

Not their fault. They aren't allowed to show Rod Laver Arena games live.

Monfils was show court 2 while Tsonga was Hisense
