THANKS for TUNING IN

[admin]

Thanks to all the New Zealanders who tuned into TV2'a broadcast of the K-1 OSAKA ALL STARS event last Saturday night.

I believe we were up against the Rugby World Cup on Tv1 and the Rugby National Final on Tv3 -- let's see if we outrated either, none or both!

We will also be broadcasting the K-1 DREAM NEW ZEALAND on TV2 on November 14...

And the big one... the K-1 WORLD GRAND PRIX TOKYO DOME on December 20.

So stay tuned!

Hi Michael,
We talked about this at Johnny's show and I can't beleive that the kiwi's can get all these shows on free to air!

I am not optimistic about commercial TV in Aust broadcasting the show, but Fox won't either.
Kickboxing on Fox must rate or else they wouldn't show it at all. What is the lieklihood of us subscribers getting to see this sort of action. Not my preference but I guess even on pey per view I would tune in for K-1 Grand Prix again!

Interested in your thoughts. Won't get my hopes up too much!

On a lighter note, would love Tarik to get Abud back in the ring on the Nov 30 undercard! Everyone else is making a comback, Sam Greco, Pat Christofi, Scott Bannan! :)



Still kicking strong at 42!

Michael, really? oh God, let this be true. It'll make a great christmas present. I wish we had a satellite dish that broadcast ONLY kickboxing and muay thai around the world 24 hours a day. Snap back to reality, OH, there goes gravity...............

It is true

We're doing the show at Fox Footy Studios next week. I will let you know on broadcast dates. At this stage it will be 2 x 2hr shows 'The Road to the Tokyo Dome'.

Michael,
Thanks for the news, keep us updated on broadcast dates.
I now feel a little more satisfied when I pay the monthly Foxtel fee!


Are you going to do the commentary on the GP again this year?
