For those who may not usually get the HS there's an eight page Storm/season liftout in it today. There's an article by Craig, an interview with Cam, Gallop, something on the new stadium, a list of our squad, a bit of a rundown on the rest of the teams and fixtures for the season and world cup.  All in all a very good read  ;-)

Not a chance.  Channel Nein does the minimum that they are required to do (start the telecast before midnight, so usually 11:55pm), and the TV rights don't go up for renegotiation/retendering for a couple more years.

I wouldn't be.  Fortunately I'm moving to the NT in six weeks so I'll get the live coverage on Imparja.

There are other threads that discuss this and answer that question (after a fashion) at length.

Depends on your definition of normal, Channel Nein's definition of a normal time to show NRL in Melbourne is midnight.

Oops, my bad, I mean to schedule it to be shown at midnight but make sure the preceeding shows run over so that at midnight Nightline will still be on and we can get to see the hilights, and results, of the games we are about to watch.

well the games start at 12 not 11:55 so does this mean they lose the rights to sbs :P
