People please whether you have foxtel or not, please send them an email sayng you're very disappointed with the Coverage of the NBA playoffs on ESPN/Foxtel.
As much as i love watching MLB, and every single AFL, NRL and Super14 match played every weekend 4 times during the week, a NBA Playoffs game every day during the playoffs, or maybe 4 or 5 games is what i expected.
Its really crap. The only reason why I got foxtel is because of the NBA. And since the playoff began, they only showed 3 games. not really happy with their service. I am going to get the sports off my subscription.
I have been given this email address by a colleague of mine.
I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the NBA Playoff coverage this year. As a Foxtel Gold subscriber, one of my primary reasons for having Foxtel is for access to the NBA.
In what has been a superb finals series, so far, we have had hardly any games to watch. As one of a huge number of NBA followers in Australia, I expected much better, and consequently, I am reconsidering my subscription.
I am very interested to hear some feedback and reasons for the lack of coverage.
I just got a reply from ESPN (as per the email link from reign) and here is the reply that just came through
ESPN is broadcasting those NBA Games for which we have the broadcast rights based on our contract with the NBA for International networks.
ESPN International will not televise a fourth game from the First Round of the NBA Playoffs however, we will now have the opportunity to televise five games in the NBA Conference Semifinals. In addition, we will be broadcasting the Western Conference finals, and the NBA Finals in their entirety.
As soon as the NBA releases the NBA Conference Semifinals schedule we will announce our game selections. Please continue to check our website at: http://intltv.espn.com/ as the schedules will be listed there once the NBA releases the information
