Letters to Jim Main #7

Perplexing Programming (22/7/09)

Dear Jim
A lot of people have written to you with valid gripes about the standard of AFL telecasting in NSW and Quensland and I cannot understand how putting on a dodgy movie works better for the network. Does a network really earn more in advertising that way? Or does it cost too much to relay the "live" feed to Sydney and Brisbane? I am not in the Tv business, so I have no idea of their motivation for such decisions. However I figure that if they spend so much to get the broadcasting rights they might as well show their product, especially as the price is expected to rise with the introduction of two new teams.

Jim Main says:
There is so much disquiet, even anger, over this that something must be done.
