Foxtel are assuming that by showing at least ONE game; they'll manange to hold onto the basketball audience while freeing up timeslots for other sports.
Frankly I don't even know how many people watch Baseball, considering it is one of the most boring sports to watch; rather fun playing it but that's about it.
You may also find that due to the Kings and Bullets going down; they're assuming that the primary viewing populous are in those areas and as such don't think viewer ratings will be that high this year.
A re-launch after this season is a definate; unfortunately it has reached the point where the league is only going to go down hill; and not because of team issues, but of marketing and sales issues.
How good was it!!!! I'll have to check out the news tomorrow or NBL wrap on Thurs for a replay. It's worth seeing for those who weren't at the game. I think Melvin's still got "molten" imprinted on his forehead.
