| Totally agree with the disgraceful programming not only by channel 7 but also channel 10 in regards to non Brisbane Lions games shown in Brisbane. I have sent the below email to AFL and all other Adelaide Crows fans in Brisbane that I know. I ask that you please forward this to as many people as you can. Of particular significance is the idea of boycotting AFL sponsors' products as opposed to boycotting free to air channels - The sporting public need to make a stand! Please forward the below to all: Dear Sir/Madam Once again as a brisbane resident I am absolutely outraged that I am unable to view the national game live in the capital of Queensland. Adelaide Crows vs Collingwood on Saturday night. I could drive 70 kms to the Gold Coast and watch on Southern Cross 10 and that is my only option. Even the local cannot show as Foxtel are not picking it up. What in God's name is going on? 2 semi finals on the weekend and the only game being shown live is of course the Brisbane Lions game. Are the AFL serious about raising the profile of the game in Qld? Why did Channel 7 and 10 bid for the rights if they were not going to cater to AFL supporters in Qld? I have made a conscious decision to boycott AFL sponsors' products as opposed to the free to air channel as I will watch other programs. I have sent emails to my fellow AFL fans in Brisbane to do the same. It is a damn disgrace that the national game cannot be viewed during finals in the 3rd largest capital of Australia. Shame on AFL, Shame on channel 10, shame on channel 7. Please forward to all concerned |

| blame the AFL for scheduling **** games like Richmond vs WCE on a Friday night, so as a result, channel 7 gets more viewers from Better homes and gardens. Game is on live at 8 pm on channel 7 on the Gold coast, and will be live at many pubs in Brisbane |

| Seven, you promote yourselfs as the AFL Station yet you change your programming to have the game tonight now on at 930 instead of 0830 as had been listed in all the TV guides. You have treated QLD AFL supporters with utter contempt, I wonder what time it would have been on if it was the Brisbane Lions? Its finals time people! I rang the station and all I got was "sorry we have changed our programming " | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
