It's a very good show!Sheesh -- is gardening that popular in Australia?
Actually interesting to hear that Sky in NZ (foxtel's brother) has lost the rights to show Pommy soccer, it gone to a channel that will show it on internet, wonder how this will impact sports viewing in future!!
The internet is the future for sports broadcasting. The AFL allegedly employ 30 or more journalists, and the expectation is strong that their next broadcasting deal will be basically pay-for-view on the internet, with the production handled inhouse.
But the AFL don't have a hand in the Libs pocket like news/fox etc do. So they won't have any effect on the NBN like I've heard news/fox has on the Libs policy. Without Labs NBN, AFL I doubt, will be able to distribute it nationally.
Hope they do though, would love to see them do it, cause if they can, it will encourage others to - and that will mean less money and political sway for the terror/fox/news
Actually Wamberal, was telling missus I wish Sky in NZ would go complete internet with their sport, I could buy it here, and get a shit load more rugby, like their rugby channel etc, funny she asked where I would get time for mowing lawns etc but..The internet is the future for sports broadcasting.

I like rugby where is at the moment. I don't want it too popular. I don't know why people get so into ratings and the like. I'm an end user as a viewer and an amateur player, doesn't affect me at all.

Rugby's ratings are going down because it's only on pay tv, except for wallabies games, but as soon as the Libs get in that'll go too. Dear Rupert will have it all soon.
What because Labor's plan of Julia Gillard not knowing anything about rugby, pretending it doesn't exist, being an AFL fan, giving $millions to Soccer to waste on a shitty, amateur bin that was thrown out after a show trial by a corrupt court and generally doing everything possible to exterminate the code (fail anti syphoning laws) is better?
Tony Abbott has come out and said he is a rugby fan. From a political perspective Lib govt treats rugby better. Rudd also scrapped ballymore funding. What evidence do you have to suggest they will let Murdoch buy it all?
I'm a swing voter but pretty sure the Labor govt has done everything it can to kill rugby.
What exactly are you talking about?
Pretty disappointed with those ratings for the first Lions Test, thought there had been reasonable promotion of the series. I imagine/hope if the Wallabies are able to square the ledger this weekend, the third Test in Sydney will come somewhere close to State of Origin numbers.
