because Australians have the right to wath more NBA Basketball. Basketball is in the top 3 sports participated in Australia and I think its about time we have the opportunity to watch more high level overseas basketball on our TV
The lack of coverage of NBA is appaling in Australia. I would be willing to pay much more than the US in order to get LIVE coverage of NBA games. I am not interested in delayed coverage at all it must be LIVE.
I pay $60 a month for Austar for the specific purpose of being able to watch some NBA and the coverage is crap. If NBATV were added I'd keep paying, but with the pathetic coverage of the playoffs I think I'll be cancelling after this years Finals....
because I have been trying to get better NBA coverage for 5 years. You get the same answers from ESPN and Foxtel, we are unable to provide more coverage. BRING NBA TV TO AUSTRALIA FOR ALL OF US BASKETBALL FANS.
We really want NBA to watch and with the rise in basketball fans with the NBL improving we would love to have a 24/7 basketball tv station that we can actually watch some live mathes from. NBA TV!!!
NBA basketball has a great following in australia and i feel that there would be an increase in the popularity of basketball again, with the regular showing of the NBA games/NBA action weekly.
the choice of games we see and the frequency of games shown is a joke... But thanks for showing at least one of the THREE game 7's this week! Oh, that's right, we didn't see ANY OF THEM!
Australia does have a poor showing of basketball on television, it's not on free-to-air, it's timing is never 100% compared to what the program guide says is on. If our cable tv companies had this i'm sure it would get a bigger rep for basketball around Australia and push other little kids to become another Australian number 1 draft pick.
NBA basketball is the best level of league competition in the world. The size of the Australian market is more the ample to generate interest and in turn subscribers to a channel deicated to this league. NBA TV is a necessity for pay TV in Australia.
The best of the best in the NBA and Australia simlpy have no coverage with the exception of paying $50.00 per month to see 4 games on Fox ... what a joke !!
