NBA TV EMAIL FOXTEL!

I have emailed foxtel about the NBA TV thing... I suggest that as well as emailing Draganic, and signing the petition to also email them at [email protected]

here is the one i wrote them bastar-dz

Hello,



Ive read in various places that there are talks of NBA TV, an exclusive NBA channel being set up for Foxtel before the start of the next NBA season. I was wondering whether this is true? and whether it is likely that it will happen? I think there is a massive untapped market for basketball in the country and a newly aroused interest in the NBA that foxtel should really capitalise on. The reason I have Foxtel is primarily for the basketball, both NBL and NBA, and I know this fact to be true for many other subscribers, If NBA TV channel were an option for us I could see alot of people subscribing to that channel even if it costs extra.



The Coordinator of International Programming NBA Entertainment Danijela Draganic has been sourcing interest from Australians both via her email and petition on whether an NBA TV channel down here is viable and the response thus far has been impressive. I truly hope Foxtel consider this, as you guys have a footy channel and lets face it, you dont really MISS OUT on football on Fox Sports 1, 2, FTA and Sports Tonight, laughs.



Also I'd like to also ask that the Australian Boomers Games in the upcoming FIBA World Championships of Basketball be shown on FOXTEL, this is the biggest event in Basketball and alot of Aussies are psyched to see it, please help us out! Its the biggest, most important event in the Basketball calendar... if you guys dont televise it yet show something stupid like NCAA Volleyball (as was shown instead of the most important game of recent playoffs) I would seriously consider terminating my subscription.



If someone at FOXTEL would like to contact Danijela (if you guys havent already been speaking) the email is [email protected] .



I hope that these things come to fruition and I would like to thank you for your time and otherwise great veiwing on FOXTEL



Peace



Hurley

hurley can you post when you get a response.

Even thought there has been LOTS of NBA TV stuff going on and could get a bit annoying, i think GREAT! Put pressure on Foxtel to get it.
Welldone Hurley and all that have e-mailed Foxtel, signed the petition or e-mailed NBA TV

Hey fellas,
This whole movement to get NBA TV seems to have died.
Does anyone have any news on the matter?
Searching around I can't find anything within the last couple of years with any information regarding NBA TV in Australia.
We gotta regroup and get this happening, it has to be possible considering the countries that have access to NBA TV presently.

I think the best company to contact re NBA TV would be iiNet to put it on Fetch TV along side the soccer clubs TV they now feature.

Hey, espn's coverage of nba is poor. They show 3 games a week. If foxtel autralia had nba tv. You would get a lot more subscribes and people would view foxtel heaps more. Take this into consideration.
