That’s right folks, bad news:
It will all happen on September 30th, which is Grand Final Day, and coincidentally, the day after my birthday.
“Foxtel will close its AFL-only Fox Footy Channel at the end of the season because of the uncertainty over pay-TV rights to televise AFL football from next year through until 2011.” (afl.com.au)

Don't worry Tim, you can always watch CNBC with me.
Foxtel is not abandoning AFL fans, Tim. If they get the rights for the 3 live games they will build a new sports station (Fox Sports 3) around it.
The current 24 hours of AFL is a little excessive, don't you think?
I am aware of the televising of games. What I am guessing that will disappear though are all the shows that I enjoy on Fox Footy, like White Line Fever, On the Couch, League Teams and Headliners. There was also a Sydney AFL match of the round on every Friday night. I doubt highly that this will be shown on Fox Sports 3 which will be a shame for Sydney Footy.
And no, 24 hours of AFL a day is not excessive!!!!!
