I've heard that Fox most likely has the exclusive rights to this years World Champs but I want to know what's happening for sure before I decide whether I'm going to buy an online tournament pass from fiba.com. Does anyone know for sure and can back it up with a link? Cheers
Go on fox sports website and it proves it will be showing some games on fox sports 1. But im 50% sure that one hd has the wrights to the Boomers games. Im 100% sure sky sports has the Tall blacks games and 1000% sure that One hd and sky have a deal just like in the netball and 50% sure that one will show tall blacks and boomers games and sky sports vice versa.

Fox Sports has exclusive coverage of the WC's in Australia. At this stage OneHD DOES NOT have the rights to show any coverage of the World Championships let alone any Boomers games.
Here is the Fox Sports 1 TV schedule:
Live games:
28/08 FRA-ESP
29/08 SRB-GER
29/08 ARG-AUS*
30/08 AUS-GER*
30/08 USA-BRA
31/08 PUR-CHN
31/08 GRE-TUR
01/09 SRB-AUS*
01/09 LIB-ESP
01/09 BRA-SVN
02/09 ANG-AUS*
02/09 ARG-SRB
02/09 NZL-FRA
Delayed:
28/08 AUS-JOR*
28/08 USA-CRO
29/08 SVN-USA
01/09 IRN-USA
02/09 USA-TUN
Check the Foxtel TV guide for actual broadcast times in your time zone.
There is a 7 hour difference between Turkey (Istanbul) and the east coast of Australia, so most games will be at around midnight or the early hours of the morning here in Australia.
If anyone can prove One HD has the rights to the Boomers games, please post a legitimate link and stop posting unsubstantiated rumours.
The only way at this stage that you can guarantee full, live and uninterrupted coverage in Australia is to purchase a FIBATV.com online World Championship pass, or be able to find an illegal stream somewhere else online.
Basketball Australia have already said Fox Sports have the rights to the WC's and One HD do not.

FIBA TV wont give live coverage of Boomers games, or any other games Fox shows, in Australia, you will have to wait for a period to see a replay.
ONE has the rights to Boomers games but I believe that begins after these WCs.

Its actually the warm-up tournament that the tall blacks, Slovenia, Spain and Russia are playing in.
