Channel 9 gives Queensland viewers second class service

Daylight saving will be blamed by Channel 9 but Queensland viewers don't deserve to have the Australia vs New Zealand Test Match this morning on an hour delay from England.

It is absurd that the result of the game was broadcast on Brisbane radio stations an hour before the delayed telecast finished.

It's bad enough to have to endure Channel 7's delayed telecast of the Australian Tennis Open from Melbourne every year.

Now, Rugby League has succumbed to this second rate service.

Maybe, Pay TV is really the answer to this problem despite the current campaign by the free-to-air networks to stop any inroads by pay television into their traditional territory.

Viewers would prefer to pay for live coverage of big events than a less-than-live offering by the networks.
