Oi! Channel Seven!

Just sent this to the Big Pond Pannelbeaters team. Wonder if it’ll be answered on the program. I’m more than a little pissed off about Channel Seven pushing the V8 telecast into the middle of the night then shortening it to an hour and a half rather than the (usual) much longer slot it normally receives. Anyway my note follows, if you happen to work for Channel Seven and know why, or just want to reassure me that I’m not the only Adelaidian that doesn’t care about AFL, feel free to leave a comment.


Hi Guys,

I don’t want to raise what seems to be a perpetual subject on PannelBeaters, but I’d like your thoughts on the Winton TV coverage… I understand from the Winton preview show that there’s issues with Seven affiliates putting V8’s on late at night whgich are out of Seven’s control. I’m in Adelaide, and frankly don’t care that we get the telecast half an hour behind the eastern states (also mentioned in the Winton preview show). I do care though, when as happened with Sunday’s telecast, the eastern states get their traditional Sunday arvo timeslot, and Adelaide gets V8’s at 10:30 at night! There’s no Seven affiliate here, so why did it get put back to late Sunday night? And if it is going to be shown so late, why on earth did it get shortened to 90 minutes instead of the usual 2.5 to 3 hours? Surely if the V8’s are going to be on so late the least Seven could do is give us the full telecast!

So, two questions… Why so late, and will this happen again?

Jim.

PS: I may be the only person in Adelaide who doesn’t care about AFL, but I’m passionate about my V8’s!
