In the Brisbane v Cairns game, when a guy shoots free throws they go to this camera shot from behind the basket except you can't actually see the ring. That's poor.

Fill it up with 48mins instead.

Why would you call nbl pre and post game dead air? It's the opposite, increase in airtime for nbl

Airtime is not inherently good. The Australian crew have certainly done a much better job of filling it than the NZ one, but it's still a long time for nothing important or hugely interesting.

Dead air for NBL TV viewers perhaps not for Fox viewers.

It gives people time to change the channel, too.

I like it. Increases the nbl's air time and builds anticipation.

What hour of dead air? On fox the nbl coverage is continuous back to back

There's a 20-minute post-game show, followed by a 20-minute pre-game show. The first game also finished about five minutes early.

Might've been forced onto them by 9.

Plenty of games usually go over the 2 hour block which would constantly screw up their programming schedule at least this way always allocate a 2.5 hour block knowing they can just fill the last 15-20 minutes with something and the rest of the schedule remains intact.

The hour of dead air between games is a terrible idea.

Probably because they were still in talks with Nine over issues like tipoff times and perhaps streaming rights?

All tip off times got moved forward by 20 minutes, persumably due to complaints by Perth (fair). I think its as good a results as they could have hoped for. Originally were given 11:30am games, now 12pm.

All games are live on Fox for Round 1 so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't all be live for the whole season, particularly as I have heard on numerous occasions in the past few weeks that all games are live (just like 90% of sport televised on Fox).

Great to see an extra half an hour added to each broadcast, more game analysis, wonder who pushed the idea though, Fox or the NBL?

Will be interesting to see how long the GO broadcasts are

I believe channel 9 has all the rights to on-demand games after they've aired.

NBL TV is handy because of the on-demand replay feature.

I have missed a lot of games due to family commitments and envisage more so this year.

So NBL TV is my best way to catch up.

Yeah I've seen nothing anywhere stating that any games will be shown even delayed on NBL TV let alone live streaming of any games after tomorrow three NBL x NBA games.

Streaming is trash quality though.

does this dispel the theory that Fox won't show all games live?

If anything, it's more of a concern. If they just aren't showing the Go games live, all games are still live. This just means whichever games aren't live on Fox are possibly not live anywhere.

Fox Sports loves to pull out "every game LIVE" whenever they can, and they went out of their way to avoid doing so when talking about the NBL coverage. Multiple people have directly asked both Fox and the NBL on Twitter to confirm the situation and been met with silence.
