Someone was asking on here what hapened to the Footy Show on Prime. I emailed them and got this for a reply:
Thank you for your email.
Prime were hoping to be able to broadcast a repeat of the programme on a
Saturday morning, however due to the sponsorship in Australia of this
programme by Jim Beam there are issues of broadcasting the programme
free to air.
The only way to broadcast this would be to heavily edit the programme,
and this would then impact on the essence of this programme. The
decision to take off the programme was not taken lightly.
