The Age reports today that AFL tribunal hearings will be televised live for the first time next season from a new studio at Telstra Dome.
The league last night revealed plans that will pave the way for weekly live telecasts from 2005, despite the continued misgivings of footballers worried about the extra pressure of being filmed giving evidence.
Fox Footy boss Rick McKenna confirmed that his network would film at least two pilots of tribunal hearings this season to try to alleviate concerns associated with what has been described as football's ultimate reality series.
"It won't be Survivor Part Six and it won't be Judge Judy," Mr McKenna said.
"I'm confident we can show that the manner in which we produce it will ease a lot of concerns.
"We aim to be respectful to the broader aspects of the competition, which we believe Fox Footy has demonstrated from day one."
