ONE HD Just gets worse

1 live game a week costs OneHD/Ten $25,000;
3 live game each week $75,000

Ultimately OneHD/Ten will need to make a commercial decision: do they keep losing bucks and p*ssing off a small but passionate demographic OR do they keep losing bucks and comply with the intent of their contract OR do they cut their losses and tell the NBL to go away (and pay out their contract).

Anyway you look at it, the NBL have made the right decision. They need to wait it out with 4 games scheduled next year and 5 the year after that. OneHD/Ten's losses will keep mounting up and very soon they will reach a point where they need to decide how much money will it take to make this problem go away.

another one for 3 delayed games. we are in the technology age now people, if you dont have some sort of device that can record a program with a timer then your Amish community probably dont approve of you supporting basketball anyway.

I do enjoy live games to but given the ultimatum that the NBL was given then i too would have made the same decision. plus who wants to be stuck at home 1pm in the middle of summer when you could be out enjoying the sunlight.

The 1 live game Ten offered was midday Sunday. Which means games in WA would have to start at 9am! Impossible.
3 games delayed was the correct move. I would rather see 3 games delayed than 1 game a week at Midday on a Sunday.

What KET said.
Sydney were meant to play tonight, but SEC doubled booked so Sade is playing tonight. Thats why there was 2 games on last night.

A huge congratulations to Rebecca Beggendorf who has been rostered onto her first CABL game. Beck, a first year Panel B referee, will suit up with Josh Wilson-Smith in the Womens match at Mt Barker between Eastern Mavs and Southern Tigers on April 28. Those you who have her contact details, give her a yell and say well done and wish her luck! Best of luck Beck, you deserve it. You go girl! <a href="http://www.centralabl.com.au/">CABL Website</a>
