In due course it will be dominated by player interviews and promoting themed rounds.

For a 24/7 AFL station, they don't actually do a lot of original programming outside of the games. Basically just a couple of hours at most of news and punditry each day. The rest of the schedule is just replays and "minis".
It's a long time ago now, but the original Fox Footy had all sorts of different shows on weeknights.

Well, you can see them and they sometimes do hand gestures that add to what they are saying. And I think sometimes they even show vision, so not quite a podcast but almost.
Best on Ground (mostly) axed for this year bar a few episodes. Saturday Stretch returning, not sure if in a new format under a different guise or not.

probably for the best these days, the last thing we need is more self-indulgent football media shows focussing on the individuals hosting instead of discussions/topics.

Yeah turns out Fox was not happy about BoG starting so late, preferring a more 'family friendly' timeslot.
And it sounds like it'll get one eventually:
"In the new AFL rights deal which is scheduled for 2025 – although there is talk some changes could be implemented earlier – Fox Footy will be able to have control over the starting times of games and find a position for Best On Ground in a more family friendly slot."
No player or coach interviews, has people on it who are passionate about footy and actually follow the game properly, no focus on promoting any social or political causes, no going through the motions with the same boring and predictable segments, and they don't hold back with their opinions on ANY players and coaches, even the 'superstars'.

Foxtel fights claims it inflates NRL and AFL viewing audiences
Australia’s television ratings provider has contacted Foxtel over claims it overstates its audience on key entertainment and sports content.
Rupert Murdoch’s TV and streaming company Foxtel is fighting claims it is overstating its audience on key entertainment and sports content, including NRL and AFL broadcasts, which could reduce how much money it receives from advertisers.
Australia’s television ratings provider OzTAM contacted Foxtel last week following the release of ratings data about the NRL’s first round of the season. Foxtel said it had an average audience of 523,000 per game, up 17 per cent year-on-year, but did not explain where the data came from.
Kayo Sports audience data is tracked internally by Foxtel.
OzTAM chief executive Doug Peiffer said he saw the press release with the numbers and is working with Foxtel to understand the data. “I have put a call into Foxtel to understand how they have put those numbers together,” Peiffer said.
Foxtel has denied any wrongdoing.
“Transparency and accuracy of data around audience numbers is something which we take incredibly seriously, and we continue to work closely with OzTAM in relation to its industry-wide linear reporting,” a Foxtel spokesman said.
Multiple media sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorised to speak publicly, claim Foxtel is misstating data it receives from OzTAM by combining it with internal data and failing to remove duplicate audiences across its services, such as Foxtel IQ, Foxtel Go, Binge and Kayo Sports.

Advertisers rely on data from OzTAM, the television industry’s verified measurement system, to make decisions on how to allocate advertising budgets across various types of media, with higher ratings typically leading to more spending.
OzTAM tracks people watching subscription television via a dedicated panel comprised of 2120 homes, from metropolitan and regional Australia. The panel tracks the consumption of popular Foxtel and Binge shows, such as The Last of Us and The White Lotus, or the first round of the NRL, regardless of whether a person is watching it on a Foxtel channel, or via one of its associated streaming services.
Sources close to OzTAM, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because discussions are confidential, claim Foxtel is adding these figures to internal streaming consumption data, without removing those who may already be sitting on a panel. This is a concern, as it may allow Foxtel to inflate audiences and sell advertising packages based on the figures, particularly during live sports matches such as the AFL or NRL.

Foxtel boss shrugs off cost concerns after HBO extension
The sources said OzTAM was in contact with Foxtel Group chief executive Patrick Delany late last week about the matter, which was raised with OzTAM’s Pfeiffer after the NRL ratings release.
The concerns, which sources say came from OzTAM’s technical committee, prompted an investigation and a warning. Nine, the owner of this masthead, sits on the OzTAM board.
The concerns have occurred at a crucial time for Foxtel as it prepares to renegotiate its debt with banking lenders and reconsider the prospects of a public float.
Foxtel had $1.93 billion in drawn and outstanding debt as at June 30 last year, according to its most recent annual financial report, the bulk of which was due to mature in 2024. The Australian Financial Review reported Foxtel’s shareholders, Telstra and News Corp., are still keen to list the business once market conditions improve.

360 - has become a simple vehicle for the Nerdling to pontificate at large...and Slobbo to ‘go off on one’ at every opportunity.
Sensible, well constructed opinion has diminished to egotistical flatulance.
On the couch - has become dominated by the Brisbane loud mouth, obviously encouraged by Fox as they see him as the ‘working man’s thinking footballer’...when reality is he’s simply damaged and it’s like a train wreck unfolding every show.
It’ll be cringeworthy TV watching ‘Browny’ try to keep up with a Lyon/Buckley debate....can’t wait for that one.
And then we have BOG.
Other than fostering ‘Foxtel internal relations’...not sure why it exists...and can’t see St Nick being replaced by Joey, can’t see KL being happy with the swap either.

Are the commentators at Adelaide Oval or just Ron?
Def calling it from Melbourne.
Just watching them in the Melbourne studio.
Perth I could kind of get but surely you can get a team of four based in such a big city.
Alice Springs or Darwin I would understand but ADELAIDE? It's a disgrace.
I don't mind listening to David Zita but are we really quoting a coach's record as 1 and zip after ONE game?
The return of the Saturday Stretch analysis is most welcome in place of that BOG-awful garbage they had on last year.
Feeling confident about Matty Nicks this year - haven't lost a game yet.
On the other hand, it's a disgrace that Nicks hasn't got a win on the board this far into the season.

So I was told I made the telly when the Dogs came out of the player race at the start of the game on Channel 7 (went with a rellie who goes for the dogs, only reason I was there lol)
All well and good, check the Kayo feed today and ... saw the end of the Port Lions match then they went straight to the Dees and Dogs already on the ground a minute before the coin toss!
So not only do Port miss out on the song but then the next match there's basically no pre-game, and I'm pretty sure the same thing happened to the match prior (Roos-Eagles).
They need to spread the games out over three channels instead of two, or if not, have the pre- and post-game coverage on either another channel or on Kayo or something, the way they currently do Saturday games is not good enough.
