tommoLast night, I watched an American basketball game (NBA) on free-to-air telvision.
This is the first time I've seen NBA on FTA Australian TV since ... *thinks* ... probably 1998?
IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME.
It was on the Ten SD2 channel (simulcast with HD I assume), and I've read that when they launch their 24 hour sports channel in a couple of days (which, it appears, will replace SD2), they'll also have 3 live games per week screening there. Bickety - as they say - bam.
I've been wanting to watch NBA games on TV for so long. Throughout my school years they used to screen 1-2 games per week as well as recap/highlight shows, and I've missed them so very, very much.
Oh, and last night's game? Miami Heat vs Detroit Pistons, with a superhuman performance by Dwyane Wade (rapidly becoming a new favourite player) pushing the Heat over the line for a last minute 5 point victory. Great stuff.
Now, if they can get the NBL back on the telly I'll be set.

Date: 2009-03-24 06:25 am (UTC)I managed to catch at least 4 of the NFL finals and the Superbowl, and have seen a few games of the NBA and a couple of Nascar races.
I'm sure that the AFL will be shown on this channel also, or at least the portion of the games that 10 has the rights to. From the promo ads for it, the swimming and golf will also be on it. I'm hoping they can get their hands on some more Australian sport too so it can get air time that it deserves/needs
