Basektball NZ - GO MAORI TV

You know I have to wonder some times about the priorities of BBNZ and its relationship to broadcasting partners in this country. Every week during the NBL season there would be a game on Channel 2 during Saturdays mid day session. Sometimes the game would be live, others would be recorded from games Friday night or during the week.

So...once a week for 2 hours. Oh the exposure...

I'm glad to note though that both the Semi finals and the finals game was broadcast live and were very good games...well, except for the one sided match up in one of them...then the good finals game with the Hawks coming out on top. Go the Hawks.

But then I have to wonder where is BBNZ's and TVNZ's priority when it comes to International games. NZ Vs Australia. 11:15pm on two nights of a week. HELL...when the same for Netball, rugby, league, if that happened, people would be hung. Then maybe drawn and quartered.

You know, in Australia, not only were both games carried live on their networks, but it has actually a rating? But I am very proud of the fledgling Maori TV for carrying the forth game, the second of the two in Australia live. The sad thing about it was that it was that hardly anyone knew about it. But good on them. Shame on BBNZ.
