Airdate: League Nation Live – TV Tonight

New NITV sports panel show League Nation Live begins next month, filmed in Brisbane.

NITV presents exciting live sports entertainment series League Nation Live. Hosted by ex-Broncos captain Justin Hodges and Deadly Award and Logie nominee actor Aaron Fa’Aoso, alongside league fanatics Hannah Hollis, Jodan Perry and Nathan Appo, League Nation Live will capture the best of Australia’s favourite football code, the NRL over 31 jam packed weeks.

Filmed live in front of a studio audience, each show will bring 90 minutes of entertainment, sports and stunts. From community clubs to the State of Origin, all layers of the game will be covered by some of the country’s biggest league personalities. There will be talk on all things – analysis and action from on and off the field, big game names and the latest in entertainment, including performances from emerging and established artists.

Tuesdays from 1 March, 7.30pm on NITV.

Just wondering whether or not anyone's heard of this show - if so, will you be watching?

SBS has a mixed record with these sports entertainment shows. The Marngrook Footy Show is actually fairly well put together - compared to the AFL Footy Show on Channel 9, it's Walkley Award-winning stuff.

On the other hand, there was an A-League show a couple of years ago on SBS 2 called Thursday FC, which was unfunny, boring and mostly served as a Western Sydney Wanderers propaganda machine. SBS cancelled it after it pulled only 4000 viewers (not a typo).

I'm not expecting this show to be particularly good, but I'll tune in for the first couple of episodes, even if it's just to see Hodgo again. Heck, it's filmed at Mt Coot-Tha and tickets are free, I might go along to a filming or two.

I knew about it only from Hodges agreeing to do it a few months ago. Will give it a go. I'd like to say NITV is pretty hit and miss, but it's mostly 24/7 of miss.

They actually had the first show on NITV on the weekend prior to the All Stars game, they did interviews etc in between live broadcasts of the games leading up to the All Stars match.

 

[Morkel]

If I remember I'll certainly give it a crack. I don't have Fox so anything is better than nothing.

 

[Fozz]

I'll give it ago. Anything is better than the thursday night footy show, even a colonoscopy.

 

[Super Freak]

I'll watch it.

I just saw the new ad for the Footy Show.. And I can already tell it's going to be even more garbage.

Footy show would be fucked if they put the matty johns show on Thursday with fletch and hindy on national tv

 

[FaithinHook]

Much appreciated Redbur95 for the notification of this new series. Should make for some interesting, an fun viewing as the season progresses, particular with Hodgo guest appearing. Hopefully we will see lots of Broncos on there too!

 

[Fozz]

About to kick off. Well, in QLD anyway.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Damn. Missed it :(

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Damn. Missed it :(

Are you on Fox? There's an encore later tonight.

 

[Fozz]

May be able to watch it online.

Shannon Noll looks so weird without the soul patch.

Nice, thanks man.

 

[Rhino1001]

Wasn't the worst show, will probably tune in next week

 

[Fozz]

Could use some more polish but I liked it.

 

[ChewThePhatt]

Definitely needs some polish, not bad for a first episode though. At least the bulk of the show is talking about footy.... shits all over the footy show Hodgo looked so nervous
Should improve over time. Will watch again.

 

[Fozz]

Their choice of clips to play during interviews is.... odd. Not always relevant to the subject.
