NBL Attendance - Round 19

Here in Adelaide we get TV adds telling people they can see 36ers games at the Adelaide Arena (self promotion is a good thing) but not once have I seen an add for the NBL itself, not on OneHD, not on Ten and definitely not on any other channel.

Anon, you make a good point about the tennis. For the month of January we had the Hopman Cup, Brisbane & Sydney Internationals, The Kooyong Classic (was that on the box?) and then the Australian Open. I dare say it wasn't just basketball's ratings that took a bit of a hit during January.

MikefromtheK is right, at least someone is prepared to televise NBL games on free-to-air. Even if Ten (One) is showing games on delay and not live its better than restricting the audience to those who have Foxtel or worse still no games being shown at all. But they are treating the fans like chumps and could be doing a much better job of things.

Yeah well try telling that to Ten anon and I wish they'd listen. It wouldn't be that hard for their local stations to telecast every game (with local commentators which hopefully would stick Carfino in the Kingdome and not everywhere else looking like a court jester before games). A 36ers away game could be shown in Adelaide, same with the `Cats, Kings, Hawks etc in their towns, even if it is on delay at 10:30pm or later.

Ratings might improve then, local ones at least. I'd love to see a breakdown of which NBL towns are watching and which aren't when its not their team playing...

Doesn't help that One (Ten) is treating NBL fans like chumps. Do you think they'd dump the AFL or NRL to a 10:30pm replay from Friday through the whole weekend if they had their telecasts?

I know its not the greatest example comparing the NBL's fan base to the AFL or NRL's but its the truth. Ten treat their netball fans better.

Considering the last time the Breakers played in Wollongong, they hammered the Hawks. Also throw in that weather was wild in Wollongong all weekend, it was huge to get over 3,500 to the game!

Is anyone / teams going to the broken hill junior carnival in october? I played in it a few years ago and it was an awsome carnival. It wasn't on last yr due due to lack of teams nominating because they reckon its too far to travel. This is thw weakest excuse considering the amont of travel that the broken hill teams do to support our carnivals. I think that we should try to get as many teams nominated as possible this yr. Should b a great carnival!!
