The end of the NBL
178705 is on the track
Perhaps get Guthy Renker to sponsor the NBL and show it late at night instead of the drivel shown now such as face cream, sharp knives and abs builders.
People must sleep all day so they can watch this crap at night.


Sorry ClownDog, I missed the 2am broadcast because like most normal people I was in bed!
I didn'nt even realise it was on or I would have taped it.

I think while TV is vital, they never really did a good job of spreading the word in other places. No one will check for it on TV if they don't already know about it.

Problem was "duh!", that no free to air station picked up the rights to the NBL. The NBL was lucky that Foxtel was willing at the time or there would have been nothing.
I reckon SBS would do a great job with it if they wanted it - but their hierarchy prefer the "World Game" and cycling over any other sport.
The ABC would also be a good choice.
At least there was 1 game per week packaged for channel 9. Pity they didn't show game 4 or game 5 though - that was pretty ordinary.
WWOS was back for the first time last weekend too and they failed to even mention the NBL grand final series even just once. That was even worse IMO.

Yeah, I'm with Blue Collar...Sixers away games were the reason I subscribed to Foxtel in the first place.
I thought it was funny how when I rang to connect up, the operator asked what I wanted it for, when I said basketball, the operator said "oh yeah we have NBA, college ball...and NBL, if you're into that".
