Ian Johnson on SEN

[Baroclinic instability]

Did anyone hear him? DId he have a few drinks for lunch?

Then he LIED and said channel 9 didn't do the Friday night interstate game live

YES THEY DID. The AFL sheduled the game in WA to start at 6.40pm or 8.10pm in WA

PATHETIC!

 

[Daytripper]

A television executive lying to make his own network look better.

Who would have believed it ?

I didn't hear him on SEN today, but I watched the whole 7/10/Foxtel rights announcement press conference back in February, and he seemed like a very arrogant, bitter person.

Foxtel shows all their games live, and Ten shows games live when they are able to.

Has Seven shown even one game live so far into Melbourne?

no, two NAB cup matches only (from GC and Cairns in week one)

Johnson was clearly affected during the interview.

Leach remarked (laughing) afterwards that he wished he was at lunch with Johnson today!

Soused Managing Director and dodgy coverage.

(They're talking about it aagain now...)

WA are 2 hours behind, not 1/12 hours in front, Not that I have any idea what you're talking about anyway

Well the 2nd WA should have been SA

Do you understand now?

6.40pm in WA = 8.40pm in Melbourne

and

8.10pm in SA = 8.40pm in Melbourne

Meaning if games were scheduled at those times then they would be live into Melbourne. Channel 9 did this last year. Channel 7 have not.

It isn't hard to understand.

The AFL pushed back the starting times for Adelaide and Brisbane. Friday night Adelaide games now start at 7.10pm local time. There is no change to the Perth starting time meaning the Fremantle-St Kilda game on May 25 will be broadcast on Seven live.

 

[uncle dom]

heard him on the way home from work few too many VBs i think who can blame him when the OX is his number one special comments

 

[Crazy Jim]

that's the second time I've heard him interviewed on the radio when pissed. The classic old media bloke still trapped in the 1980's long-lunch culture.

 

[Kooley]

definitely pissed......had to giggle at ox thinking he was asking the tough question as well.

Spot on mate. Seven will not show a live game in Victoria all year for mine. Absolute disgrace, and now Sunday is terrible as well. Just Seven rubishing the AFL brand.

Seven were actually better the last time they had the rights(6 years ago)!

Well I was in Perth for Round 1 last year and the broadcast did not start on Channel 9 until 8.30PM (Perth Time) by then I was getting text messages from friends at the game saying telling me we were way out in front and smashing the tigers left, right and centre. I was a bit annoyed that I was in Perth and that Channel 9 did not broadcast the game live as I wanted to watch the game with my nephew but he was asleep by 8.30PM. He was barracking for the Dogs at the time and has now switched to Freo. I blame channel 9 for letting this happen.
