10HD Dedicated Sports Channel

Postby Des » Tue Oct 28, 2008 11:21 am

Yes I've been asking for this for years!! They already have the NFL... now this!!

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/stor ... 01,00.html

Network Ten is set to unveil a 24-hour sports channel.

The network will throw down the gauntlet to Fox Sports and its free-to-air rivals next month, when it unveils plans for a high-definition channel to run sport around the clock.

Ten has been systematically buying up big sporting events including at Sportel - the global tradeshow of sporting rights - held in Monaco last week.

Ten now owns the rights to show Australian swimming, US NBA Basketball, US Major League baseball, US Open golf and tennis championships and the US Masters Golf.

The network will broadcast AFL games again next season and it recently purchased the rights to televise the Trans-Tasman Netball League.

Ten, which also owns rights to IPL Cricket and all Formula One Grand Prix events, is expected to announce its new dedicated sports channel in mid-November.

i just got a little tingle in my pants upon reading that

how awesome is that going to be!!!!!!

as long as they get proper commentators, it will be frickin awesome.

(Luke Darcy was commentating the netball the other day, it was pretty funny to watch)

with the NBA etc, they will obviously be taking a feed from the US, so the coverage will still be the same.

can't wait

If it's on ESPN then yes it will still be on foxtel because Monday Night Football is on both ESPN and Ch10HD
