Really quick post today about my first observation that not having subscription television is impacting my access to information about what is happening in the league.
The Australian Football Hall of Fame is being held over three nights, starting yesterday, and I didn't realise this until I saw some posts on social media this morning.
This is peculiar, because when I have had subscription television previously, I would have been aware of the ceremony, and probably watched some of it as well.
It definitely would have been covered on AFL 360 in the lead up, and their coverage would extend into today as well.
Because I no longer have Foxtel, I didn't know this was happening. Obviously, with no games on at the moment, I haven't noticed this knowledge deficit much, but it also seems clear this is liable to happen more in the future as games come back and my access will be limited to the free-to-air coverage of games and programming.
I'm watching a lot of Footy Classified on Channel 9, but I know there is more coverage out there I could be engaging with, especially Channel 7's Front Bar and panel shows, and the Channel 9 Sunday Footy Show.
I don't feel as compelled to watch these because of the number of commercials in the coverage, and they are on at less convenient times compared to AFL 360, which was 7pm every night.
The Hall of Fame observation probably also indicates the amount of information I get from social media, and how that has become important as I've left Foxtel coverage.
