LIVE STREAMING - Yeah right!
- Thread starter Jasonguru
- Start date
True,it does cost money for a TV event to happen,whether it be live or even delayed. However if you look at some of the programming on ONE HD for example surfing and they have a fishing show??? Who would fund the fishing show and they cant fund for a Tenpin Bowling event??
That's where it should be. Not streamed over the net. TBA Marketing need to get cracking and push to get that exposure and sell it to the networks and sell our sport as viable.
Like league, cricket etc etc, you have to get marketing people together and get the hard sell out there. Then some joy will come.

Streaming to the web is not brain surgery.
Gosh - some 'ladies' stream live on the web 24x7 - so it is obviously not that difficult.
Did they even test the live stream, before it was meant to be activated?
Have sponsors advertise next to/below the streaming window, to offset the cost - would be cost-neutral.
The possibility is that games run late, so stream from 2pm any way, just run the broadcast longer - make sure there is sponsors to cover the small additional cost.
Problem with 'good idea at the time' things - is just that.
When they dont work - you look like a dill.

Thats the clincher right there... no testing.
If they didnt expect to have so many people tune in... then dont send an email out to every tba member and plaster it on the tba website.
Most common sense thing ive read here for a while, yet 1 of the funniest!
Exactly right Vaughn. "Ladies" stream all the time on the net tryin to make a buck! Sponsors could've offset the cost and provided a bigger bandwidth and better server, making it cost effective, even neutral as you say, now they look foolish and lose a great opportunity for great promotion of our sport.
All i can hope is the delayed cast at 8pm is recorded and runs smoothly.

Why is there no Australian ten pin broadcasted on any of the commercial or PAY tv networks?
I remember as a kid watching the coca-cola classic and thats what got me interested in the game.
It was very dissapionting to see not 1 of the television networks out at rooty hill. I competed in the restricted nationals and had a blast, shame there was no spectators there, we even made a special trip into Sunrise on the day before they started and spoke to Beretts (sports reader) about what was happening, he seamed interested and told us to send an email to him about the 3 week event. Not sure if that interst was legitt or just sarcasm cause nothing happened after that.
Come on TBA and Australian ten pin. We need to get our sport out there to the community and show em what a good time they will have.

I am going to say this how terrible broadcasting sports in Australia generally. Its absolutely stupid and rubbish. It is way poor compared to USA and UK and even parts in Europe and ASIA. Now i am going to protest heavily for free sports in Australia and put up ten pin bowling up on Freeview. Im sure alot of young people will watch it, it will get them interested alot and get them to flock at our centres!
Now who want this to be protested against Gillard?

A bit after 7pm actually (hour behind NSW not 1 hr ahead), but yes it doesn't look like it is getting a run tonight.
