so has anyone actually seen a television commercial for anything to do with the NBL this season?
because i haven't seen one all season.
i remember seeing them one OneHD a while back, but i havnt seen any all season, you would think putting some ads on OneHD for "friday night NBL" would help alot, but i dont know.
Ive seen quite a few tbh especially for this weekends game actually.

Nope - none. Admittedly I don't watch an awful lot on One, but then again I don't have foxtel either and the one time I had a chance to see some foxtel (in a hotel while on holiday) and within the first minute I saw an ad promoting the a-league. I left it on a bit longer, and then another a-league ad appeared!
I saw more a-league ads in 20 minutes of foxtel exposure compared to no NBL ads from watching One over the current season - which was more than 20 minutes!
Would love to see One or 10 at least try to show some interest and help the coverage - which they pay for!

I'm curious to know how Ten will treat basketball should it be successful at winning the broadcast rights to cricket.
I'm too young to recollect a summer of watching Australia play cricket on anything but Chanel 9. (error intended).
Big Ads, should Ten get the cricket, perhaps we could look forward to Carfino's ball-by-ball commentary? :)

imagine carfino calling the cricket "He bowls it in rhythm" "he hits it in rhythm" "he fields it in rhythm....."
Carfino, lol.
"Siddle comes in to bowl, turns the corner"

Why does a thread about TV coverage always get derailed when someone mentions Carfino!? :)
I agree with just about everyone else and I think Carfino is the worst commentator Ive heard, but the OP was about NBL TV ads - not Carfino!

if they had a few ads during the week for the friday night NBL, i bet alot more people would watch it, and get into basketball
