WHY is the AFL on at 6pm tonight?

Question

Neighbours which is the show i see every night is not gonig to be on, Why does AFL have to start so early and also WHY!!! Did they push the biggest loser down to 9pm tonight when i like watching it at 7pm. Explanations please

Answer 1

Because Fox Sports knows Carlton/Richmond knows that no one is gonna watch it cos it will be a horrible match :p

Just kidding.

I have no idea, guess so they can fit two night matches on the Thursday night.

Answer 2

It's is because the AFL is experimenting with a twilight game.

Answer 3

pffft iuno. More ratings. who cares....neighbours is boring as. and Biggest loser is just sooo funny...in the lamest of ways!! but it still sucks

Answer 4

you are kidding arn't you?

you can watch those brain numbing shows any time, you probably watch bold and the beautiful, days of our lives, home and away.

come on mate we have all been waiting for 6 months to watch the footy, you have all them shows for ages, dont begrudge footy fans.

edit- there you go the blobs are on now, have fun, i'll watch the other game now.

Answer 5

What R U complaining about It don't come on till 3:30 in the morning here and your point is? what was that your missing?

Answer 6

get over it.

AFL is wayy better than Neighbours.

Answer 7

HI hun, its all about TV rating's. Between Ch7,10 and Foxtel, they all have to show some live games and but most will be delayed. To answer your question, Ch 10 had to show the footy due to an agreement with The AFL.

Answer 8

Because CHRIS JUDD is playin his first match for Carlton(he is the best AFL footballer in the league)

Answer 9

There is no ratings period over the long weekend. This is why Underbelly didn't have a new episode but only repeats. Although I would have thought AFL would rate better than the Big Losers and Neigh-bores.

Answer 10

Simple Really, the Joint Partnership with Ten/Seven/Foxtel paid $780million for the coverage rights of the AFL (for 5 years) as it is the premier sports played in this country and possibly the biggest ratings winner.  Why spend the money on a product you don't use?  Basic Economics really.  You might not like it, but that's life

Answer 11

because channel ten is stupid and shuffle there programs around like its goin out of fashion

Answer 12

Because its a  double header round one opener  blah blah blah

The Port and Gelong game is straigth after the R*I*C*H*M*O*N*D*  carlton game

Answer 13

It's on early so the football TV doesn't spill into the sacred hours of Good Friday.

OK fine, let the people who observe GF as a religious holiday have their wish as far as no actual matches then, but, good grief Marmaduke, can't we have replays until 1am? The religious people aren't forced to watch!

and BTW well done Tigers!
