Ch.10 to show two NFL games per week

[Allstar cards inc]

Thought this might interest a few here...

NFL – from September 2008, two games per week live on TEN-HD plus the play-offs and the 2009 Super Bowl (the Super Bowl will air live on the main TEN channel as well as on TEN-HD).

You have Southern Cross though don't you AJ?? They might still take the coverage through their affiliation with Ten....just not sure about their HD capabilities at this stage!!

That's is awesome news.

 

[Matt26]

That's great....if only they could do the same with the NBA!

That's great....if only they could do the same with the NBA!

that would be cool, but this isnt bad at all!

Any idea who they are getting the coverage from??? if its the same as Fox Sports or ESPN.... will make no difference to me....

BUT on the other hand.. if they are getting coverage from CBS in the US, that would be mad... cos then I can watch my Dolphins play more often.... cos we all know we wont be good enough to be on primetime ABC/ESPN anytime soon....

It's a start. I'd love to see a couple of NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB games per week. It'd make Foxtel almost redundant (as if torrents already haven't?)

 

[thin man's hat]

thats a bit disappointing about the superbowl
i have enjoyed the SBS coverage for a few years now. hope ten does a good job
good news about the two weekly games though. but how about some MLB!!!! they play about 100 games a week!!!!!!

 

[MistereeZ]

Would love to see Ice Hockey too.
Now need to find out how to record the NFL games for when I am at work.

This is from TV Tonight (great website for TV news!!)

Channel TEN begins its NFL broadcasts from next week.

TEN will offer two live games per week, as well as weekly reviews and highlights on TEN HD.

From next year TEN also has the Super Bowl which will air live on the main TEN channel as well as on TEN-HD.

Friday September 5:
8:00am 2008 NFL Season Kick-Off
9:00am NFL - Week 1 - New York Giants V Washington Redskins (3 hrs)

Sunday September 7:
3:00am NFL – Week 1– New England Patriots V Kansas City Chiefs (3 hrs)

Tuesday September 9:
9:00am NFL - Week 1 - Green Bay packers V Minnesota Vikings (3 hrs)

As a result of its NFL next week, 9am with David & Kim will not air in high definition.

Thats great news. Only having free to air TV at home, i can watch more games that i usually do, which is the Superbowl.

Channel 10 has been doing well lately, showing the F1s live and Moto GP at earlier times on Ten HD and also showing NASCAR races. Gotta love the sports!

Wholly smokes...4 NFL games in 5 days on FTA. That's insane.

How long will that last for? Won't the ratings be quite poor with most games at 9am-10am on weekdays (competing against the morning shows that all the stay-at-home mums watch). I just can't see them persisting with it unfortunatly.
