FTA-TV One HD Wishlist

[jo172]

Just wondering what sports are on everyone's wishlist for ONE HD?

For mine I would really love to see:

Overseas Cricket Tours
More large Cycling Tours such as Giro, Vuelta etc.
ATP/WTA Tournaments
The New NBL
International Basketball

 

[danzan22]

EPL
NHL

It would make One the greatest channel on earth

 

[Strike Swiftly]

more footy replays, ie classic grand finals etc.

 

[ubolt]

the Giro and Vuelta are on SBS as they have the rights to the Pro Tour.

Next month SBS are showing highlights of the Giro morning and night.


NBL, Overseas cricket tours and possibly the EPL (even if they got the highlights show it would be a fantastic start) would be about it.

Then they'd be running out of programming time. You gotta stop somewhere remember and forking out the money is a problem also.

State league football would be good too. If they recorded one match from each state which the ABC didn't cover and played them on different days of the week or something.

 

[DoubleO7]

*Tennis
*EPL
*La Liga
*International Soccer
*Ford Ranger cup
*International Cricket
*More Football replays

International Cricket
European Basketball, as well as new NBL
A-League/ACL but that really would be a dream.

• International cricket, especially Australia's overseas tours. Not sure if a free-to-air network has picked up the Ashes like in 2005, but I will disappointed to miss it.
• Replays of all eight AFL games from the weekend. In particular the non-televised games only shown on Foxtel.

SBS have the broadcast rights over the 2009 Ashes series.

SBS have the broadcast rights over the 2009 Ashes series.

Great news.

 

[Souup]

Simple - EPL. That'll keep me happy

I wouldnt mind more poker personally, but i know its not something thats followed by alot of people, so i doubt we'll see more then they show now.

 

[tazlgnd]

If they get the EPL i would be stoked

also if i was the head of ten network i would go absolutely nuts when the next TV deal with the AFL comes out, if they can somehow get the rights to the games that foxtel show it would be the end of foxtel jsut about and one would be the biggest cash cow in australian television history. nearly everyone i know has only gotten foxtel for the footy/cricket. if they can somehow get the footy and cricket it would be the safest investment they could ever make, advertisers would have a bidding war to get their ads in prime time.

 

[AdelUniCrowFan]

SBS have the broadcast rights over the 2009 Ashes series.

For those that don't know SBS2 will launch in June. This means that at certain times in July the Ashes will be on SBS and the Tour de France on SBS2. Can't wait for that.

Until then my wishlist.

• NASCAR Sprint Cup (the Top Tier)
• British Touring Cars
• Live cycling stages of the Giro and Vuelta

 

[matty p]

More NBA and NFL if possible
Tennis - Grand Slams and Masters 1000 tournaments
Golf - All majors (Not sure if they're showing them or not)
Cycling - Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana live (if not shown live on SBS)
NHL
NCAA College Football (Not sure if they're going to show this next season)
English Premier League
International Soccer (Socceroos games)
International Cricket
Replays of the Fox AFL matches (Only 1 replay per week though)
NBL
NBA, NFL, AFL Drafts
F1 Qualifying Live

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Some sort of soccer (only professional men's soccer though, **** watching women's or the state leagues), more Major League Baseball.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

- Ford Ranger Cup matches (or at least highlights)
- More Major League Baseball
- More replays of AFL matches (at a decent hour)

 

[treeman]

The problem is if One picked up all afl matches they wouldn't be able to show them just on ONE they would have to show them on the main channel due to anti-siphoning laws. Unless these get updated soon.

[damochandler]

nhl, if they can get that, i will be happy especialy during the playoffs

if channel 10 and one hd team up with 9 and fox for the next rights for the afl which is probably going to happen. these rigths will be the best ever. because their will be up to 6 channels maybe covering the games. if you look at it. channel 7 would never use their hd channel or anything else to play afl on it

 

[Cotchin 9]

- Ford Ranger Cup.
- EPL.
- Overseas Cricket tours.

 

[that_dood]

• ATP Tennis tournements
• Soccer from around the world i.e. Japanese league, Major League in the US, lower European leagues, etc.

 

[OzBomber]

One would probably **** up the EPL though. Fox have it perfect. 5 games on at the same time thanks to that magical red button.

 

[that_dood]

They could have the early game and the late game while Fox have the middle game with their red button.

 

[premiers06]

true but with fox sports sticking with epl for so long and doing a real good job of it too.

i love the magical red button

 

[that_dood]

Still it is on the wish list for us non-Fox folk!!!

There should be a law to stop all FTA networks(except SBS) showing soccer ever again. They always **** it up.
C7 bought the rights a few years ago and hardly showed any games.When they did they showed ads during the game. Nine who had the rights to some of the 2002 World Cup games delayed some games for the nightly news. Recently ITV(uk broadcaster) put an ad on and missed Evereton scoring the winning goal in the last minute of injury time during a FA Cup tie against Liverpool.
