This campaign is laughable given the networks' disdain of viewers with all sorts of programming antics over the years including:
• International Rugby Union on Channel 10 on an hour's delay at night in Queensland;
• Major sports events not being shown live in Australia;
• Overseas Olympics on many hours delay in Australia;
• The Australian Open on the 7 Network on delay in Queensland;
• Rugby League fans getting the rough end of the pineapple from the 9 Network in Queensland.
If anything, the free-to-air networks should be stripped immediately of their monopoly for major sports events.
Pay TV would clearly do a better job anyday.
And the sooner the better according to many keen sports' enthusiasts.
