a.b.c v.f.l footy page has been updated for 2006 season.
www.abc.net.au/sport/vfl/
so ABC isn't showing any games in the first round
Yeah, would most likely have been Willy v Box Hill too! Not happy Jan! Someone said it was to do with the Commy Games? But that finishes tonight? A bit annoyed!
how could it be because of the comm games when it was on channel9.
i recon they just don't want to show vfl football on abc when games start at 2pm, they want 1pm games which i recon is too erly
Seems strange when the Commonwealth games has finished and the first game is not until next week. Also what has the ABC got to do with Channel 9 ?
Maybe an email to the ABC to find out ?
I think a lot of the ABCs outside broadcast gear was lent to the people who covered the Comm Games.
They certainly had a truck with the ABC logo all over it parked outside the MCG for a couple of weeks.
Yeah, I saw it as well Footyman.
The gear from all networks was shared amonst the providers of coverage during the Commonwealth Games.
Anyone have any idea when ABC2 are starting their WAFL and SANFL coverage?
Check out www.abc.net.au/abc2
I think that's the correct link.
Age Green Guide lists no WAFL or SANFL matches, and WAFL has started. Note Northern Territory Tiwi grand final on ABC2 at noon Sunday 9 April.
Disappointing that the ABC didnt show a game this week, nothing better than a match in Round 1 to kick off the season. Who gives a stuff about bowls!
They are yet to show any SANFL or WAFL games this year either.
But I believe they have a contract to show VFL for another two or three years which is great.
