Domestic cricket goes live on FOX SPORTS

[mavric41]

problem is the ammount of space Pura cup would take up in the programing. With Fox footy channel being cut and replaced with Fox Sports 3 next year i think there might be some room during the summer, but to show Pura Cup matches every week from 10-6 is a fair chunk of on air time...

Fox cricket channel? Why not!!

 

[Hoggy31]

Keeping Fox Footy would've been good, non-stop footy during winter and non-stop cricket during summer. Would've worked out beautifully.

Fox cricket channel? Why not!!

haha if only, ive heard that fox Sports 3 is likely to be all football though, but all the codes, so cricket can dominate FS2 if it likes, just have all the other sports like Golf, Gymnastics, Tennis etc... on 1, i dont mind

 

[Burpey]

How can all the football codes be on one channel?

 

[Jono]

Awesome news

With Fox footy channel being cut and replaced with Fox Sports 3 next year

WHAT?!!!?!!!?!?!?!

Where did you hear this?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yeah, losing the footy channel would be a pain, even if it is dead weight for six months of the year.

 

[BoyBrumby]

With Fox & Sky both being part of Murdoch's plan for world domination hopefully we may get a few games up here.

 

[Simon]

Awesome news

WHAT?!!!?!!!?!?!?!

Where did you hear this?

apparently its all part of the new TV deal with AFL going back to Seven, word has it that it wasnt rating high enough to keep it running even if Nine had of won the rights again anyway...

 

[Simon]

How can all the football codes be on one channel?

what i meant is that Fox Sports 3 will only have football, we will still have live League and S14 on 1 and 2, its just that during the day when theres nothing on Live we could watch a replay of a Union, Soccer or League match rather than Jet Boats or Golf on 1 and 2...

 

[Haddin]

If this is real, thats good. I think it might of been that Channel that replaced C7...

 

[andyc]

Dammit. I don't have Foxtel, and that means no more domestic cricket for me

 

[Craig]

Yeah that's the bad thing about it, those who don't have cable for what ever reasons (usually cost) will miss out on watching domestic cricket and I can see where some of the English on here are coming from about losing coverage to C4, but didn't you guys only got Tests on C4 or did you get an C & G etc.?

But as somebody who is fortunate to have Austar (it got me to England last year ), it is a great thing. Although I do wish it was a season earlier so I could have seen Queensland rack 900 up against Victoria

 

[brockley]

Won't bother getting fox lost on me am afraid,with it being on wednesday no radio coverage either from abc radio,will have to listen to the pura cup on the weekend instead,thats unless murdoch changes that too.

 

[Jono]

I'm still fuming over losing the Footy Channel next season.

 

[Haddin]

Its great news! That stupid channel.

 

[Simon]

I'm still fuming over losing the Footy Channel next season.

so you're the one that watches it

 

[Craig]

Its great news! That stupid channel.

Agreed.

Surely it's a banning offence for those who prefer to watch AFL (or other sport) over cricket and admit to doing so on here?

Oh wait...

 

[Jono]

I prefer to watch cricket than footy, but that's not the point.

They both were surviving well together

I'd rather watch AFL than domestic cricket though.

 

[Craig]

Each to their own I guess.

Whilst I have developed a passing interest in the game, you won't find me switching channels to watch a game of AFL say if the Pura Cup final is on.

 

[Haddin]

Cricket = the best.
AFL - CRAP!
