blah said:Sure we're happy that they've ramped up their coverage over the last
few years - that's great (more than great; I'm stoked). We feel
betrayed that when the chips ar down, we're being pushed into the
background by cricket. SBS exist to give minority interest groups,
mainly from multicultural backgrounds, a voice on TV; or at least to
give them some entertainment. Cricket is covered extensively on
commercial TV, and it goes against everything they have until recently
stood for to provide cricket to the masses over a French cycling race.
I am sure that they could get better ratings by replacing all there soccer with AFL as well.
