Talking Footy & Gameday axed by Ch 7
« on: June 03, 2020, 01:52:24 PM »
Talking Footy and Game Day both faced the axe on Wednesday with the network shelving the shows due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

“As a consequence of COVID-19 we have seen tough and difficult decisions being made right across sport and we at Seven are no different,” Channel 7’s head of network sport Lewis Martin told AFL Media.

“Talking Footy and Game Day have set the agenda in AFL circles for so many years and we hope with favourable conditions returning this will be a temporary hiatus for both.”

The network are sticking with The Front Bar on Thursday night’s, with the show moving to a Wednesday night timeslot once the season returns.
