The sentiment has been expressed in a couple threads that Western Australia deserves to have the Spirit -v- Rays semi final broadcast live in WA. I think we all share this sentiment.
What can you do?
Edit: It appears there is nothing we can do. We seem to have got a definitive "Sorry, can;t change it"Radio is still worth a go until we hear otherwise!
1. Email Iain Knight, the head of TV Sport for ABC in Australia at knight.iain@abc.net.au
2. Contact ABC TV via http://www.abc.net.au/tv/abctv/contact.htm
3. Contact ABC Radio via http://www.abc.net.au/perth/contact.htm
Contact anyone else you can think of at the ABC and post their details here!
The other 2 threads on this issue are HERE and HERE
There appears to be a live national telecast on channel 20 (Digital) on Saturday if that helps!

Now, I've taken this info directly from the ABC's ARC website http://www.abc.net.au/sport/rugby_un.../broadcast.htm. As you will note, it will be a delayed telecast on ABC channel but live on the HD channel and on stream.
And i just got an email back from Iain Knight:
Unfortunately we cannot change the broadcast in WA for this fixture. It is available on the net (abc.net.au/rugby) at 1:00pm in WA.
Thanks for your note
Regards

Still doesnt say anything about HD20?![]()
Thats 15:00 AEST for the HD20 broadcast = 2 hour delay for Perth![]()
TG, I'll refer you back to my previous posting. It appears there is live nationwide, I'll repeat that, live nationwide coverage on the HD 20 channel.Originally Posted by travelling_gerry
I understand you have taken this from their site but isn't the lineOriginally Posted by KenyaQuin
WA: 1500 (Delay) 1500 - 1700 AEST
a contradiction in itself? 1500 - 1700 AEST is 1300 - 1500 WST which would be live?
I am very confussed and have been throughout the whole series with these telecast times. I hope it improves in future years.
So in very plain english, how can you watch this game in Perth???
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
i'll take a delayed telecast, just means i will stay away from this website, foxsports news, sky news and other possible sources of information/news for the afternoon. I would prefer a live telecast thoughOriginally Posted by KenyaQuin
