Although it has come under criticism for not showing certain teams (the Cowboys did not appear on Channel 9's football coverage for 9 years), Channel Nine Queensland shows some Broncos game, even if Channel Nine would not be showing it network-wide. Because of contractual arrangements with Foxtel for Saturday night games, sometimes Broncos games do not appear until 11.00pm on Saturday nights. On several occasions during the 2007 season, Channel Nine has not shown Broncos games at all, electing to telecast games featuring non-Queensland based clubs instead (round 11 saw Channel Nine telecast Penrith Panthers v. Wests Tigers instead of Brisbane Broncos v. Newcastle Knights ). In the past, regional station NBN has aired nearly all Newcastle Knights (and also Gold Coast Chargers ) games, including those aired on Foxtel and even live from New Zealand television. In the past few years, they have only aired the games Nine are telecasting. COMMENTATORS The normal commentary line up is:
At times Andrew Voss has filled in for Ray Warren. Other commentators that feature on Channel 9 are: For Broncos games, when telecast, the head commentator is Chris Bombolas who is along side Ben Ikin. Steve Walters does the sideline duties. |
