Channel Ten has announced the premiere date for its new 24-hours sports channel, ONE. Read more here: http://www.tv.com/story/12367.html.
As a nation known for its love of sport, does Australia need a 24-hour sports channel? Will you be tuning in? Please discuss!
Update: ONE has launched... more details here: http://www.tv.com/story/13420.html

There are already enough 24 hour sports channels on Foxtel, and around this time of year they might as well rename Nine "The Cricket Channel".

Although, having a dedicated FTA sports channel might mean that they can keep it all in one place so that people who aren't interested can just watch what they normally do rather than having things bumped off in favour of sport.

Not everyone has Foxtel, like myself.
I am looking forward to a 24hr sports channel as there is not enough sports on free to air at the moment

No way. It's the most stupid thing any TV station has done in a long time. Because of One HD there's no more Ten HD meaning all those shows that you could only watch on Ten HD are gone (in fact, most of them are already gone). It also means that all the shows that are currently broadcast in HD won't be anymore.
