Nine locked out from Commonwealth Games after ‘mistake’ broadcasting ceremony rehearsal
Nine has said its broadcast of footage of the rehearsal of the opening ceremony of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games was by mistake.
Sunday night’s Nine News broadcast of the footage from the rehearsal has resulted in Nine’s press accreditation for the event being suspended.
The opening ceremony takes place on Wednesday, with rival Seven as the domestic broadcaster.
That was a deliberate error that has backfired spectacularly.
Mistake! bull they meant to do it just to be first ahead of Seven who would have done the same very thing
Don’t restore Nine’s accreditation. If they pull these smart-arse stunts they deserve the consequences.
It’s all a load of old rubbish anyway. Snore
Of course they’re going to restore the accreditation. Sporting events need broadcasters far more than the other way round.
