nbl boost

Is it just me or does anyone else think we need a free to air tv channel to pick up the nbl and do what
10 did for the v8 super cars a five or so years ago

Lets be realistic the NBL are not completely stupid, they have tried over the years to get free to air coverage but they could not clinch a deal. Yes free to air TV would be good but lets be realistic live free to air basketball is not viable for commercial networks plain and simple, the viewing audience simply is not there for basketball. At best it would be delayed or on weekends during the day, neither would do much.Even the new netball comp on fox is out rating the basketball.

Basketball in Australia is a marginal sport in a congested sporting landscape. We need to accept that.

Agreed Mookie, I feel the best we could hope for are 10pm delayed games being shown instead of some C-grade Steven Segal movie.
