''Ten Sport'' (stylised as ''TEN Sport''; known as ''Ten's World of Sport'' from 1992 until 1996) is the brand that all sporting events broadcast on Network Ten are broadcast under, including the former sport event team; the Logie Award winning AFL commentary team hosted by Stephen Quartermain. ==History== In 1978, Network Ten used to air the Melbourne Cup but lost the rights in Early 2002 to the Seven Network after 24 years. Ten used to air the National Rugby League (NRL) (then New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL)) in 1983 till 1991, but the Nine Network took over the rights. In 1992, Network Ten also used to air the National Basketball League (NBL) during the middle of the basketball boom in Australia in the mid-90s, but after delegating games to extremely late night time slots the network eventually ended its broadcasting. In March 2010 however, it was announced that Network Ten and digital channel One would show NBL games for the next 5 years. Starting with 2 games per week, and raising to 5 per week in the 2014/15 season. It was also revealed that they would show Boomers and Opals games. On 25 January 2001, Ten acquired partial broadcast rights for Saturday afternoon and Saturday night games in the Australian Football League, the elite Australian rules football competition, displacing the Seven Network which had held the rights for more than 40 years. The deal also assigned the exclusive rights for finals broadcasting to Network Ten. Ten subsequently placed a successful bid to jointly broadcast the game from 2007 to 2011, jointly with Seven. Ten ended broadcasting the AFL after the conclusion of the 2011 season, with its final broadcast the 2011 AFL Grand Final. In 2003, Network Ten started broadcasting the Formula One World Championship after Channel Nine dropped the rights in 2002 after more than twenty years of coverage. In 2007 they also started showing coverage of the qualification on tape delay early on Sunday mornings in most states. In 2008, Ten introduced live coverage of race day on its HD channel, Ten HD. All races from the 2008 French Grand Prix onwards have been shown live on what is now One HD. As a result, standard definition coverage has enjoyed less focus and now airs at a later time. Network Ten broadcast the AFL and the 2007 Rugby World Cup in the 1080i High Definition format. As of 2008, AFL matches have been shown in prime time in all capital cities except Sydney, which receives the telecast usually after 10:30pm unless the Sydney Swans are playing. Previously, all AFL matches were replayed into the Brisbane and Sydney markets, usually after 10:30pm unless the Brisbane Lions or Sydney Swans were playing. In 2007, all of the finals Network Ten were assigned to were shown live into both markets although neither the Lions or Swans were participating, thus putting it head to head with the NRL finals which were aired on the Nine Network. Before 2005, all finals were delayed into both markets unless their teams were playing. Network Ten used to air WWF Raw, WWF Superstars and WWF Pay Per Views on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights between 1995 and 1999, but this ended when Foxtel bought the rights to air the shows. Originally WWF programming was aired on a week delay when broadcasting of the programming started in 1995. Until 1998, WWF Superstars was changed to a 6-month delay due to financial reasons with the exception of WWF RAW and WWF Pay per views. Network Ten broadcasts major sporting events including; the Formula 1, ''AFL Premiership Season and Finals (In conjunction with the Seven Network and Foxtel)'', ''Moto GP World Championship'', ''NASCAR'' (Ten HD from 2008), and the ''Red Bull Air Race World Series''. Ten also holds the rights to the ''2007 Rugby World Cup'' and the ''US Masters'' golf tournament. As well as this, Network Ten, in joint partnership with subscription television provider Foxtel, had broadcast rights for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. First time realising the need to broadcast cricket in Australia to increase viewership, Network Ten bought the broadcast rights to the Indian Premier League (IPL) Cricket, which started on 18 April 2008. The network broadcast the event annually for the next 5 years although there is some doubt that the Australian contracted national players will be available for the tournament. Ten Sport won a Logie Award for "Most Popular Sport Program" at the 2012 TV Week Logie Awards. It was accepted by Stephen Quartermain and Mark Howard for Network Ten's Telecast of the 2011 Grand Final. In November 2014 Network TEN signed Australia's Mixed Martial Arts event series BRACE to a multi event contract for live broadcasts on the TENplay digital platform (www.tenplay.com.au/sport/brace ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ten Sport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
