crustyngrizzly 1,702 Report post Posted November 5, 2019 Agree 100% Had a call from big sis 30 minutes ago asking what channel it was on as her and hubby had each taken a $20 lucky dip. On advising her that i didn't think it was on a free channel an expletive came down the line. No more next year she says. hedley 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynne Corbett 11 Report post Posted November 5, 2019 So dissapointed I couldn't watch this great race and had to listen to the radio. However, good to see that it went to a horse from Australasia Congratulations to the team. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phar Lap Fan 104 Report post Posted November 5, 2019 Dafter than a very daft idea? This is the one time each year that Joe Public might be attracted to racing. Lotto spends huge money on promoting its 'game' (Marketing Department term for gambling) and (presumably) pays for 10 minutes of TV each week to broadcast the draws. N.Z. T.A.B., in its wisdom (pun intended), offered deals to punters but not an easy way to follow those bets. Wonder what the cost of the deals was, compared with the cost of 10 minutes on free-to-air TV? Also, how the turnover compared with other years? However, if they don't care and are still paid, why should I care?

crustyngrizzly 1,702 Report post Posted November 8, 2019 NZ Galloping Cup as well as the Guineas will be on Freeview channel 200. Also the Trotting Cup will be on the same channel. Well done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss Hogg 320 Report post Posted November 9, 2019 Tom TV1 or TV3 are not an option ,because trackside has put all their eggs in one basket with Sky there only option is Prime .This week with a freeview popup channel 200 it seems that maybe just maybe they are sniffing around for a freeview option .I'm sure the turnover will increase, being with Sky must have been the biggest mistake the TAB marketing and management has ever done .Slim as for not having enough freeview channels go to Noel Leeming and get a new" you beaut" set box as the higher end channels are up for grabs for the future. There is still a major problem for freeview as the TAB has done some sort of deal with Spark and that could get rid of the rest of us .Cheers BH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
