Wow, I hope this ends up happening. If its true, what a giant step forward for the league!

Between NBL on One and NBA League Pass, I doubt I'll bother with Foxtel anymore.

Great news.

Interesting...fingers crossed for One HD - just love it!

If this turns out to be true I'll be pressing the Mrs to upgrade to a digital TV

young gun - tell the missus that you also want to upgrade to a colour tv while your at it.

get rid of that black and white portable asap !!

i live in whyalla so this news does not excite me, there goes any nbl coverage for regional areas, though i realise its great for the league and metro areas.

From a more recent Boti article:

The new TV deal for the NBL may also include provision for some matches, most likely finals, to also be shown on Channel 10.

Shano all you have to do is check when digital Tv will be setup in Whyalla, it has to be in the next 2 years, unless they extended analogue signals AGAIN!

Skud, I don't think it works like that. OneHD is not broadcast outside of the metropolitan area (well not much beyond the greater area anyway). The local commercial broadcaster in the Upper Spencer Gulf is Southern Cross. The benefit will come from games shown nationally on Ten because then it is likely to be picked up by Southern Cross. Games shown on OneHD won't be. However I'm happy to be wrong.

yea we have got digital tv but ive been told by everyone that we wont get one hd- all the more reason to get a transfer at the end of the year so I can get my season tix back and watch one hd!

The word in country regions is that OneHD will be active in the second half of this year...

I have travelled thru Whyalla and stayed with a mate who has had OneHD going, but with the correct weather and so on...

Link or it hasn't happened yet.

Here is the article confirming the announcement will be made tomorrow: http://linky.com.au/phnyf

BASKETBALL Australia could announce as early as tomorrow a new free-to-air television deal with Network-10, ending a long association with pay-TV provider FoxSports.

Ten is believed to have offered a five-year deal on its One-HD high definition channel which FoxSports, which had last rights in its contract with BA, did not seek to match.

The move back to free-to-air television has been intertwined with the Foot Locker Elite Classic High Stakes Hoops series winning coverage with One-HD for every match of its tournament at Brett Maher Court from April 6-11.

Awesome, thanks LC =D

I'm excited!

PS: 7:30pm tonight is one of today's NBA games on OneHD...

ONE and TEN the new home of Australian basketball
Following a thrilling 2009/10 National Basketball League season that marked a renaissance for the NBL and just days after announcing the rebirth of the Sydney Kings, Basketball Australia have unveiled a new broadcast deal with Network Ten and its digital sports channel ONE.

In a move that is set to offer a wide array of commercial opportunities for the NBL, BA has signed a five-year deal to show games live on both ONE and TEN nationally through to the end of the 2014/15 NBL season.

This is a huge step backwards, not forwards. At least with FOX you got to see all games, free to air dictates what you will watch and when. ONE will be showing a maximum of 2 games per weekend, this is pathetic and at this point 10 isn't showing any at all. Good move, as per usual poverty TV screws up great sports coverage.

Also, according to the schedule for Rounds 1-6, they're showing 15 games in around five weeks.

Moto you clown. Fox only showed ONE game a week last year, (2 if the NZ had a home game as well). They also didnt show any games until about round 3.

This is the best coverage we have had in years and with the coverage to increase to 5 games a week over the next few years, we could be seeing nearly all the games on TV.
