NBL TV coverage back to 10:30-11pm timeslots
I visit houses all day all week in my employment and have seen only 1 tv rating machine in 20 years.Statistically bad.That 1 house has had it for about 5 years.so his enjoyment of 70's and 80's American sitcoms could well be influencing the executives the whole time.
I mean how many interesting shows fade away or moved time slots ,how many reruns stay .
How come these rating machines arent rotated,have any of you been asked or seen anywhere to be available for them?
I knew the day murdoch bought into Ten this all would happen .He needed to screw his foxtel market away from FTA.

Why on earth would ONE play it that late on TV? They are already spending the money on production costs to film the games, they might as well show it live and attempt to re-coup some of their money back. It makes no sense.
Secondly people are right, basketball doesn't rate in this country. But I'm sure that it would have a damn better chance of rating than Cops re-runs! It's not like it's gonna cost ONE any more money to show it live. They already have the product!

So instead of NBL on One
Friday Night: Worlds Toughest Fixers then a movie
Saturday Night (most likely 3rd slot): Fear Factor, Cops, old UFC PPVs
Sunday Arvo: NASCAR and Airline (somehow that is a Male's Show - which is what they are suppose to be showing)
All repeats.

ONE was getting too successful at what it did and it was hurting Foxtel. More profit to be made out of a healthy Foxtel, and given they have the same owners, the answer was simple, decimate ONE and grab the audience back for Pay TV.

Frankly, I don't understand who they do give those ratings boxes to. ONE has managed in a short time to go from the television station I watched the most, to one that I watch very infrequently.

To me it seems Ten are shooting themselves in the foot.
They are paying for all the production costs yet by showing it 3 hours late would be getting nowhere near as much advertising dollars for the broadcast.
These days with social media, it becomes near impossible to avoid finding out news and sports results as they happen meaning even less people are going to tune in than would have a few years ago.
At least if it's just an hour delay, you don't already know the result when you begin watching the broadcast.
I think the clubs as well may have a lot of pissed off sponsors who were under the impression their paid for advertising would be often on National Prime Time Television, not in the early hours of the morning instead.
Massive kick in the guts just as the league is looking to have it's most exciting season in over a decade.

Maybe we all should sign up for one of those ratings set top boxs and watch the basketball as much as possible???...we also need to send some emails to show em we're not happy!!!
Also, if anyone has a spare billion you should buy these crooks out :-p
