Thanks for the info Phil.

Sorry for my duplicate post of the Media Broadcast Allocation PhilH that has just been deleted (thanks Mods)

That's what happens when you have 2 computers going at once going back and forth between posting and doing your work, get easily caught up on here

Great to see LifeFM doing a double in the opening round as you mentioned, also pleased to see that all but 2 games are being covered...

Is Doug Oakley calling any games this season? As he is the best.

LifeFM are certainly hoping Doug Oakley will be available to call as many games as possible this year bundy.

His job meant that last season he was unavailable for some games, but we'll have him on board at various stages throughout this season, depending on his availability with the work situation.

We will certainly keep you posted, I know I really enjoy working with Doug, he is an allround nice guy, very knowledgable and is a great caller of SANFL footy.

Phil Herden, John Nankevill, Chris Kendall and myself (down on the boundary line) will be involved in the broadcast at LifeFM once again this season, hopefully Doug also as mentioned above.

Topsy, with CK as the exception, I don't think those horses would handle myself, John and PhilH, I'm sure they'd agree

I had just assumed CK would be Famine. The other three of you were fighting it out for the rest.

please explain....

So Sturt get 3 TV games in the first 4 rounds? Norwood's lucky to get 3 TV games per season.

Should be 4, surely North v Sturt is a more attractive proposition than Port v Eagles?

Shouldn't come in to it, all teams should get an even allocation which equates to even exposure. On the basis of blockbusters I would never get to see my Panthers play as a country supporter.

We only got 1 game on TV for the whole year when we were bottom. I don't have a problem with that as they should be trying to promote the game and get more people interested.
Having said that the main issue these days appears to be the day clubs want to play, if supporters are annoyed that they get less TV games than others because their club wants to play at times other than Saturday afternoon then the supporters should take it up with their clubs.
Logistics is probably an issue too which is fair enough.

I couldnt care less about how many times Norwood are on TV. If I cant get to the game it usually means I cant watch on TV either. Give me a Friday night game over a Saturday arvo if it means more crowds.

I don't think the attractiveness of a game is determined by membership numbers mate.
Freo have a lot of members too but I think a Geelong v StKilda match would appeal to TV more than Freo v Adelaide!

Of course, no advertising on ABC!

I'm sure the TV channels in Perth would show Melbourne v Freo ahead of Geelong v Saints though regardless of the quality of football on display!!!

Exactly, and it'd be a fair point if Alberton and Woodville got different TV to the rest of the state. Do they even have electricity yet?
Meh, I'll be there anyway as North v Sturt games are usualy rippers. Just thinking ofthe poor person at home who might want to see the better game, play on.

Electricity? Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Running water is planned for later this year.
