WNBL back on FTA TV!

It was definitely a stretch for a deal where the NBL is still unlikely to make any money.

"When people were on here talking up the "landmark" deal that saw the NBL get the same amount of games on TV as last season, you wanna have a go at a deal that sees the WNBL go from zero FTA to games to nine? "

The nbl was marketing it as landmark, not the people here. To be fair they did go from a non commercial station to a commercial one, so there was some improvement despite the same volume of games.

"not sure how long the wnbl will last in its current state.
Acting like a game a week is a big deal."

No it's not.
Going from 1 game a week on foxtel to 1 game a week streamed on both foxtel and sbs is not a great achievement.

This is a great achievement...

Also a boost to the salary cap...

"Very interesting considering the NBL is likely going to be in that same timeslot on Saturday afternoons on Nine. I would have thought the WNBL would have wanted to avoid potential conflict with the men?"

it may come as a surprise but to you womens basketball is-
A - already in conflict on several fronts with the mens comp, and
B- many people WILL watch the women without the need to watch the men

they also have a little something called replay for NBL..over and over and record.

just getting them ON free to air is a step in the right direction,and not as part of the mens package ,hopefully this might make BA see some sense and increase the length of the competition instead of trying to get it to fit into such a small window to leave the final sage of the NBL just for the men,because that was a total disaster IMO
