ABC to continue VFL football coverage
Phillip Hudson From: Herald Sun September 22, 2011 3:54PM

THE ABC will continue its weekend TV broadcast of VFL games, but it wants to strike a new deal for financial and logistical support because of falling ratings and pressure to show other programs.

The national broadcaster had been considering axing VFL coverage but today said it would begin negotiations in coming weeks for the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

ABC managing director Mark Scott said the broadcaster understood local football coverage was important to state leagues in developing profile and grass roots support.

"While the ABC appreciates the importance of local football to passionate fans, the reality is that audiences have declined markedly in recent years.

"To cover the amount of local sport that the ABC currently broadcasts is expensive and the ABC must ensure that it is delivering value for money to its audiences and other stakeholders,'' Mr Scott said.

ABC looks to dump football coverage

Full Story

THE ABC is considering axing its weekend TV broadcast of VFL games.

In a further blow to local sports fans after the ABC said it would scrap lawn bowls next year, Sydney-based management are now looking at dumping football which has had declining ratings over the past five years.

Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten called on the ABC to "disown this bad idea."

"VFL football is in many ways the heart and soul of Victoria's suburban and local football story. It's football the way football used to be,'' Mr Shorten told the Herald Sun.

“I think it is great to get along and watch it at the old grounds, but it’s also terrific to be able to watch it from the comfort of home - live on the ABC."

“If you're an elderly VFL fan who finds it a bit difficult to get to the game or indeed just like watching it from the lounge room with family you would be terribly disappointed to see the ABC cut the coverage next season.''

“The ABC charter is about diversity, community and accounting for all tastes. It's not like a commercial network who prioritise ratings.''

What was with the centre square being shifted to a wing??

Don't tell me we're going to see another lot of Prelim Finals moved to Box Hill next week.

How about a little suggestion for AFL Victoria for next year - in the first week of finals actually play the reserves games at the other two venues away from TEAC Oval!

Clearly TEAC Oval doesnt cope with Port training on it along with four games every weekend.

Hi Guys

I was just wondering what you think about the VFL having some on ground entertainment before the big game.

I was thinking how great it would be if they could score Jimmy Barnes or Cold Chisel to perform a few numbers.

Or even the living end

what do other fans think ?

What a win! The teams looked very even in the first quarter. I really believed that the game was going to go down to the wire. But some inspired footy from Port in the 2nd quarter opened the game up and from there it was all the Borough.

The second half really showed the difference between the two sides. I thought Fevola was good for Casey.. Especially considering the limited amount of opportunities he had.

Valenti was great all day. Shooter was very good as well... Particularly considering how much footy he had while the game was evenly balanced.
