Future ABC Coverage: Budget Cuts
Harry, if you've only just worked out the politicians don't always tell the truth, you're a mile behind the eight ball. One says it wont have a carbon tax, the other says no funding cuts to this and that and yet, when they get into power, it changes because treasury only hands out financial details to government and not the opposition.
I don't like the cuts to ABC however, reality is there must be. they've cut "state to state" and now WNBL and sbs might also lose a-league Friday nights.

I'm a big fan of the ABC for what they've done for WNBL and really hope they find a way to keep one of the world's best competitions in the public eye.

I think its all pushing towards some sort of nbl.tv synch up then in regards to the WNBL.

"the ABC is very well run and respected, imagine what it could be with good funding"
You can't be serious. The ABC is extremely well funded.
Have a read from a very respected media person and former ABC Manager if you think they are hard done by.
Shame that Abbott lied (again)

From what I am gathering, two possibilities.
First. Basketball Victoria are pushing for the Knox Raiders, who play in the SEABL and have a new 5,000 seat stadium, to join the newNBL.
Secondly and this is where it gets twisted... The Melbourne Tigers. I don't know anything more than they are having a board meeting on Thursday and the possibility of a late bid will be discussed.
Will keep you updated when I find out more.
