Why does Foxtel not show what it advertises?
Foxtel is virtually the only cable company in Australia. It ruins hockey games by editing them to 90 minutes but today, for the second time, it massacred a game, the Detroit-Colorado one. It advertised a 90 minute game and cut it to 60. I am a Canadian stuck in this country and rely on Foxtel for a hockey fix. They show endless hours of boring games like cricket and hardly any hockey (our next game here is Monday, game 2 of the San Jose-Dallas series). I realize hockey isn't popular here, but why not show it in the middle of the night without cuts so people can tape it. And why advertise 90 minutes when you are only showing 60. This is a nice place to visit but, if you're Canadian, you don't want to live here. Canada doesn't exist in the Australian media, unless there is a bear on Yonge street in Toronto.
Eye Have Eyes: I don't expect them to show lots of hockey here. Cricket and AFL (or rugby) are your games, even if I find them boring. I do expect them to honour what they advertised. And they could easily put a hockey game on in the middle of the night, instead of cutting it to pieces at 3.00pm. And there is more coverage of Oz in Canadian media than vice versa, particularly in the last 5-6 years. I agree there is not a lot, but more than there is of Canada here. Canada doesn't exist here. It is a pity because the two countries have so much in common. Would be happy to continue the discussion on that if you want to email me.

Yeah well thats all well and good but how muc does Australia exhist in the Canadian Media. How many Australian state cricket matches are broadcast in Canada.
Its true foxtel shouldn't have falsely advertised that game but still there is no need to take it out on our great Nation. Especially on ANZAC day.
