Big difference between attending a game to listening to it on the radio. McPherson Media said they were going too help off set costs but getting sponsors? They were going to try and make a shitload and I understand the GVFL stance. Maybe if they had of said 50 percent of Sponsorship revenue will go back in the Clubs Funds it would have got over the line.The concept without considering the financial side of it is great.I find the move a bit strange given the league has broadcast via radio for many years.
Especially given the radio audience is very localised and they do compete directly for sponsorship.
If broadcasting competing with the gate and sponsorship , are of concern, does that mean radio broadcasting will cease ?
I may be completely wrong but it appears very political and that many clubs were in favour of the proposal.
