    I won't other responding to what I think are some pretty misguided quotes on Foxtel, but I will take issue with you on Clinton.

    I don't think anyone - including Grybus - has suggested he's a journalist. What he is is an outstanding presenter, articulate, well-presented, pleasant, passionate about the game, & a very good caller - in short, a perfect host of the best footy show on TV.

    Sports channels already cancelled. And I told them why. Still, as 7/10 own the rights, they can't do much unless they come to an agreement, which pig-headedness on BOTH sides has prevented.

    Thank goodness for the net and radio streaming, I can sit in my loungeroom & listen live to 3AW & SEN!

    Finally, if the AFL start their own channel, it MUST be part of the basic sports package. No point making people pay extra for ir if they want to use it to grow the game. Would you pay $5pm for a channel for a game you have only passing interest in?

    RIP Fox Footy. May you one day return.

    I think I will cancel sports channels as well. TV without FFC is BAD! I am going through my DVD collection instead.

    You have to stop watching Beaches - its turning you into a emotional wreck.

    Yep. Not much of a consolation but good to see my LA Kings on TV again.

    I lost all respect for him on his take of the anti-siphoning laws and the way he misrepresented the truth to push his paymasters barrow.

    I miss FoxFooty but not at the expense of decent television viewing being denied to to all Australians irrelevant of their wealth (FREE-TO-AIR).

    If Fox were fair dinkum about their commitment they would offer a decent price for their games (as they did this year) and get on with this.
    I didnt think you were an idealistic cmmunist Woodsy .

    PS I agree about the free to air but as I have the means to pay and the relevant programmers in our great state dont provide overall coverage miss it a hell of a lot. Potentially seeing all games live next year will be great but would still like to see the dedicated channel for addicts like myself .

    Foxtel is struggling to fill the gap unless you like gripping sports like fishing, 57 varieties of boring car racing, replays of all sorts of things, including ancient cricket matches, strong woman contests, I could go on but you get the picture.
    I'll hang on for a while but..
