If Sat/Sun mornings are more lucrative, why would OneHD want to do that?

For the games so far, I've found that after I've followed livestats or checked the score online after a game, I've had little interest in watching the delayed telecast. I think so far I've only caught the end commentary from the 36ers game (got home around midnight or whenever it was wrapping up) and about five minutes of the third quarter of Hawks-Breakers. I'd either have to be very interested in seeing someone play or avoid scores all evening before watching the game (which is tough).

PVR's (ie. recorders) are widely available these days and not crazy expensive as they used to be so you could just record the replay at 10.30pm and then watch it whenever suits you (ie. saturday 8.30am).

As much as i hate the delayed games id much rather them at least be on the same night as the live game, its hard enough not seein a score with only a 3hr delay let alone a full day.

Also atleast Fri & Sat nights more people are inclined to stay up a lil bit later i would think to watch the delay even if it is only the diehards. Obviously the Sunday night game is a lil but of a strech.

The perfect time (except if they were live) would be at 930 id say then atleast the game is over before midnight. Im a night owl so i dont mind em being late but 1030 til 1230-1am stops your avg person even bothering tryin to watch. One HD is killin their own product an will complain about low viewer ratings at the end of the season, then prob try an scrap their coverage.

If they are paying for the camera's/crew/commentators why burn ya own production it makes no sense to me but hey im a lowly basketball fan, thanks One HD

Done

Why waste his time? Of course the league want to be live on TV, but their only choice was one live game on Sunday versus three delayed games. They took the better of two pretty average options.

there should be a 'replay' the next day ha!

i've watched all games on tv so far including going to a game live! how's my support! i wish they have more respect for the league

bet you they ain't gonna talk about ratings this year!

I don't do 9am.

If your up at 9am, and your not working and think 10:30pm is to late..Your to old to have a vote in this matter since your future support of the league is quickly decaying as you are....

Oh on a serious note the NBL needs to make the competition exciting enough for it to justify live TV games..the fact that ONE HD think the crap they run during half the game times is more popular than the NBL shows that the games not exciting enough to none nbl fans.
Ofcourse Advertising would actually help this, has anyone seen any adverts about the season this year???..I didnt even remember the game was last sat night until my mate rang to say he was picking me up!

just throwing it out there, but maybe the NBL should take a page from netballs book and perhaps pay channel 10 to play some live games to start with, then promote the game enough that channel ten will need to pay to renew the contract in the future?? feel free to criticise as id like to know why this isnt feasible, but otherwise could this be a potential avenue?

Watched Tigers v Kings and Sixers v Wildcats but the Sunday 10:30pm was to tough to squeeze in or record and watch during the week.

It's not like the league get a say on times shown and it's not like they have other options.

Would a serious investment/partnership (scrapping FTA) in online streaming be more advantageous or only also appeal to the die hards?

id love that DJ but think your assumption is right that it would most likely suit the die hard fans and would struggle to attract new crowds. id like to see both options to be honest. for example any games not covered by ten should be allowed to be streamed. or stream all if possible.

Ten might be open to some games going to Fox considering their board now consists of Murdoch and Packer.

^ Not true. Packer resigned over 6 months ago after neutering One HD.

and fox sports used to have the rights, but did a shit job of it, not to mention less people are getting foxtel these days because its expensive and a waste of money by the time you pay for the sports channels. generally its only die hard fans. id rather them go after 7 or 9 if one doesnt want to commit.

Would day games be a better way to bring new fans to the sport? The NBL could pick up some AFL fans who have nothing to watch on a Saturday / Sunday arvo anymore.

I remember Bogut tweeting something about moving weekend games to a 5.30 start effectivley ruling out OneHD's 3 hour delay clause. Is this possible?
