change that to 100% because that is exactly what they said and they had that schedule posted on the ABC page on day one when i put a link onto a forum.

What a fucking mess by the ABC :lol:

Just gut the rest out of them Tones.

Stay tuned for more at 6am

Now now, ABC is a commercial TV station!

-PB

What money does the ABC make from this?

ABC bid 1 million and the FFA had to put in 0.5, SBS bid 0.5.
ABC will be laughing all the way to the bank because Australia have made the final.
if you look at the big bash they pay 20 million for about 30 matches and they don't rate that well.
These are simulcast with Foxtel but even so the final will be a ratings bonanza.
SBS has become an inbred joke, PFA Fozzie and friends and aren't doing a professional job anymore.
ABC are not much better , a commercial channel on the other hand if they get a sport they promote the hell out of it.
For some reason the commercial channels treated this like it was radioactive suggesting AFL and maybe others were behind the scenes trying to make them avoid it.

Pretty average tbh. It's pathetic that people are still waiting for this and it's actually considered exciting.

That is fucking insane. Can't wait

Might have been a probe for FTA viewer statistics so they can show their warez to the big PayTV Co's

Meh

Griffindinho definitely works for Bein Sports.

ABC1 looks shit anyway

I wonder if they'll even show the final (if Australia aren't involved)?

Ironic that at the same time the ABC wastes budget cash on the Asian Cup (when SBS should be doing it), Mark Scott axes the Women's League for next season. WTF!!!!

I read somewhere that ABC bid $1.5M more than SBS for the Asian Cup rights. Why the hell did they do that? SBS is the FTA public broadcasting football station, everyone knows they have the people, knowledge, passion & infrastructure to do it justice. The ABC has zero interest in football, it is full of fumble ball AFL types. AFL/Racing commentator Gerard Whateley gets the commentary gig I read!!!!!! Glad I have Foxsports and don't have to suffer the ABC.

Back on topic, I'm 99% convinced ABC originally said 'all quarters (not just the Oz games) live on ABC1' then it changed... sometime after this i was 99.99% positive they said 'both semis live on ABC1'

What happened?

Thought you were watching this stream at first :P Dat 1080i HD

I was half wrong; was British EuroSport 2HD.

Don't mind those two lads though, they basically do all the ACL/J-League games.

-PB

Now they're broadcasting the Asian Cup again? ah, well at least BeIN have the fox commentators, pre game and a after game show :D

unfortunately i live all of 5 km's from central melbourne, so no NBN for about 5 years... and when it comes it will probably be on a copper wire.

ADSL. ffs. it hasnt been this slow for me since the turn of the century.

I get about 96/39 on an average day.

I'm watching it right now on EuroSport 2HD.

Bein is easily Qatar's greatest contribution to football.

The daily Griddindinho BeIN plug ;)

The second I opened the thread I expected you to be here with another beIN promotion :lol: All good helping other forumites out but it is hilarious :lol: :lol: They should employ you :lol:

:lol:

tier 1 is fast as shit but tier 5 OMG

EDIT: wonder what the 'actual' speed will be

Haha I'm in Woopwoop so not keen for the pub scene here. Specifically planned being here around the games that ABC were supposed to be showing live. Now I'm slumming it listening on the radio, like it's 60 years ago. These guys have no clue how to pronounce the Korean player's names. ](*,)

yeah. i live in australia. so internet is shit. streams are therefore shit.

go to a pub ?

Ahh ffs. Thanks for the heads up, although it's now ruined my night. What is this shit? The ABC announced pre-tournament they would show both semi-finals live. I've just come to stay somewhere with no foxtel and only shitty wireless internet (unreliable and not enough data anyway). So there's no way to watch it. Ffs, I wouldn't have even come here if I'd known that. Damn you ABC!
