Pay-television station, Fox Footy, will provide just that when it launches tomorrow evening with a 90-minute special ahead of the opening night of the 2012 NAB Cup.

This channel is not a new phenomenon as it was in service prior to the last broadcast rights deal before closing at the end of 2006 due to Foxtel’s uncertainty over its access to games.

That will not be an issue this time around with Fox Footy to show every NAB Cup (except a handful of regional games), home-and-away and finals games, with only the AFL grand final to be exclusive to free-to-air network Channel Seven.

The biggest feature is that it will be advertisement-free siren-to-siren and every game broadcast in high definition.

There will be a smorgasboard of AFL talk shows to sink your teeth into in down times too, such as AFL 360, On The Couch, AFL Insider, League Teams, Open Mike, After The Bounce and Eddie McGuire Tonight.

The only downfall is you have to fork out your hard earned for the privilege.

Moreover, what does it for Western Bulldogs fans in 2012?

Put it simply, if you do not have access to the pay television service in the opening eight rounds, you are effectively blacked out.

Seven of the opening eight Bulldogs games will be the exclusive domain of Fox Footy.

The first time you will be able to catch a glimpse of the new Bulldogs hoops in a competitive match on television will be their round six clash with Collingwood on a Friday night at Etihad Stadium.

The second half of the season is much kinder for Bulldogs fans without the subscription service.

Six of their last seven games for broadcast will be shown live, or in the case of Saturday afternoon games, near live, on free to air.

The Bulldogs breakdown is: 11 games on Fox Footy, 10 games on Channel Seven.

Are you happy with the 11-10 breakdown of Western Bulldogs games on Foxtel-Seven? Will you be subscribing to the new channel? Feel free to leave us your comments below.
