With 1116 SEN securing AFL radio rights what does this mean for VFL radio coverage for 2007. SEN are doing 5 AFL games a week.
SEN have said that they would still do a VFL game next season. Does this mean a Saturday Morning game or maybe a Monday Night game(I hope not).
I suspect it means morning games.
i have herd wednesday night gamesa
are coming next seson
You need to check the label on the bottle.
I'm sure your taking more than the doctor told you to.
Not sure how SEN will find the time or resources to cover the games but I hope the Wednesday night show stays. They do a reasonable job with it
They'd be unpopular. Plus we have very few grounds to play them at.
The only way it might work is if Foxtel acquired rights to show them, but VFL players hold Mon-Fri jobs in most cases so playing on Wednesday night is surely not an option.
But for SEN to broadcast any VFL then the only real timeslot is Saturday morning 10.30am starts. But I can't see that happening on a regular basis.
So the VFL probably need to get off their backside and work a way for VFL matches to gain more radio coverage. 97.7 do a good job, but they need someone else.
We'll be lucky to get VFL results on SEN (really 3AK) next season. But if they do give VFL results, this could mean radio scores of Sunday matches.
The VFL hierarchy are blatently not interested in supporters getting scores on radio in real time. Viz, their refusal to press our ABC radio to give scores.

Part of the conspiracy to keep the VFL a secret !
How on earth do you suppose the VFL would "press" the ABC to give scores.
They have a score access system in place that is available to all media.
What power do you suggest the VFL, or any sporting body has, that can force somebody to broadcast scores.
About time some of us realised that we are in the real world.
