ARC on the ABC

[no.8]

nice one Imaag!

Yes it'll take some to beat us and those wascally webels!

Just a bump for the weekend for those who may want to watch a couple of matches...

[shasta]

Last Saturdays ABC game and todays are listed in the ARC match programs as delayed in Perth after the WAFL. Looks like today's match is not gonna be shown again. Seems like he AFL cronies still hold sway at the ABC WA as well as at the commercials

Oops! Just noticed those telecast dates.

I suppose the WA lawn bowls people would be pissed if their sport was bumped for a delayed telecast.

So, unless I am completely misreading the situation, we play the Fleet this week at their place but no-one really needs to show up as they are showing the game live on the ABC. Meanwhile, in the west we will get it late Sunday night on ABC2.

Honestly, could they have managed to cock it up better?

I didnt really read the last posts in this as i went through them, but was just wondering what the ARC telecast were any good?? I think i saw somewhere that the commentary was a bit ordinary

I suppose the WA lawn bowls people would be pissed if their sport was bumped for a delayed telecast.

watch out or all the old people will take to the streets and and from and angry mob and march down to the ABC in East perth demanding answers as to why the lawn bowls got bumped...............

The feed on the ABC website is ok but very good point regarding live coverage on ABC in the state that the game isn't being played in.

Its not brillant but you can get it live at 1500 AEST or 1 o'clock here in the West on ABC IF you or a mate have a High Definition receiver/set top box on ABC channel 20.

and does that include ABC2 on foxtell????

ABC 2 on Foxtel is on EST

[Thequeerone]

The replay is on ABC 2 ( can get this channel with a Standard Definition set top box at 23:30 on Sunday - but if you have Foxtel you can get the game at 21:30 on their transmission of ABC2 which is 2 hours ahead of the WA schedule)

Burgs broke his heart laughing at me the first weekend - but it is so confusing - I don't normally sound like a Harvey Normal salesperson - ever time I try and figure this out I want a beer - so do my kids !

[frontrow]

I want a beer too, my head hurts from the complex arrangements you have presented....All i know is i don't get jack sh*t up here either way...

[Thequeerone]

so your not volunteering to rewire various tvs and settop boxes in order to be able to record the game

[Burgs]

Me neither frontrow
They chose not to put this one ABC1 in the East

Now I'm really confused, Burgs

So you're saying that the Spirit/Fleet is on ABC2 in the East rather than ABC1?
All the Saturday fixtures were scheduled for ABC and the Sundays on ABC2. I figured you'd be the one recieving it live on your satellite set-up and doing updates here.

Wonder why they can't find room on the sat service for ABC2? There's already half a doz 1's and about the same for SBS

[jargan83]

So do we get a LIVE telecast in Perth at all? Im confused i think i need a beer as well :s is it live on AB2 2 or delayed on saturday?? Or is it live on ABC?
