FOX Sports, National Basketball League announce broadcast partnership, every game live in HD

THE National Basketball League and FOX Sports have announced a five-year partnership to broadcast all games of the NBL live in high definition; to be reviewed after the 2015/16 season.

The partnership was announced by NBL executive director Larry Kestelman and FOX Sports CEO Patrick Delany, in what was described as a significant step in continuing the return of basketball as a major force in Australian sport.

“We are dedicated to making the NBL a best in breed, professional and commercial product that delivers the best entertainment on offer to the public over the summer, and today’s announcement is a huge step in that direction.” Kestelman said.

Great talent coming into the league this season: Marcus Thornton (Celtics draft pick), Kirk Penney, Nathan Jawai, Kevin Lisch, AJ Ogilvy, Chris Goulding... then guys like Josh Childress and Cedric Jackson returning from last season... Should be good.

Don't spent too much time here, sorry if it's been said a thousand times....is there an NBL board with individual team threads, or is this the thread?

Wildcats starting today with Martin and Prather at the guards, then Redhage, Knight and Jawai at the 3, 4, 5. They're going to be biiiiig this season.

Its says games will be shown on fox sports news. Why this channel and not fox sports? Any news who commentators are?

 

[HawkintheTuarts]

Because all the other channels will already be showing live sport.

There isn't live sport on every channel though and they're still doing it.

So find out? All I know is the information I passed on.

Any news who commentators are?

Analysts are Shane Heal, Tommy Greer, CJ Bruton, Derek Rucker, James Harvey and current Boomers coach, Andrej Lemanis

Sadly, no John Casey it seems

Why are they both wearing blue?

Because they can guarantee it won't clash with any other sports, and offer it as a sports "taster" to those without the Sports package (as FSN is part of the base Entertainment package).

I dread the games Der-wayne will call.

Given the mix of AFL, NRL, and rugby union callers I wonder if Huddo and Der-wayne will largely do the Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth games, and Andrew Ross, Warren Smith and Matt Russell will largely do the Illawarra, Sydney, Cairns and Townsville matches.

Even with the technical issues Fox Sports coverage craps all over Channel 10's coverage.

 

[mikey127]

Won't happen but love to hear Steven Quartermain call again. The late Clinton Grybas was great and really passionate about the game

 

[brucetiki]

Did they provide any media training to CJ Bruton - his commentary is so deadpan

 

[FreoRicci]

NBL on FOXSports Yes please.
Really liking Illawarra Jersey.

 

[Chuckie357]

Townsville gone a different shade of green? Looks pretty rank

 

[Chuckie357]

Reckon there's about 100 people at the Townsville game

Don't have Steve Carfino "Oowwww Maaaaaaaa Gooooooodness" when the ball goes out of bounds

Looks very, swampish - it's awful!

Reckon there's about 100 people at the Townsville game

I didn't think things were THAT bad at Townsville. Do the locals even want the side to survive?
