Its as simple as 7.30 is a higher rating time slot than 6pm. Just like 9pm is a higher rating timeslot than 5pm. 7pm i get the argument for but traditionally its 730 in Aus 6pm means you go against the news, which is a fight no station wants to try and win. Its also why when a station buys a...

Nobody wants to play just the same 5 teams. I think people want those 5 teams to play for one comp and then play kiwi/Japanese teams in another comp. So play Aus teams as much as we have the last 10+ years and international teams as much as we have as well. Just both components packaged...
