To me, for TV to work you have to show a game with an atmosphere and full stadiums. It seems like there are a few barriers already in the way to providing that.

Great post, right up until you said that 95% of the people who follow the league never actually attend a game. How do they follow it then?

It would appear that since NBL and WNBL (administrators and fans) have been calling for more exposure via FTA TV, that the target audience for that are going to be able to watch (want to watch) live games during the day.

If that does grow the interest, fan base, and hence paying customers then its a good thing for the sport as a whole.

Existing paying fans have to accept and adapt, or as a few have stated, leave.

Possibly stipulated by the TV partner. If it's not in the interests of fans attending games, I can't see another reason why they'd do it. Alternatively, venue hire/scheduling in the bigger cities? But then it's not like they could turn around from basketball game to concert in an hour.

Hi Forum.

Just wondering if there will be any coverage of the Jordan Brand Classic here in Australia? It will feature a stronger line up than the All-American game including NZer Steven Adams and top 2 Americans Nerlens Noel and Shabazz Muhammad.
