Did Channel 9 make a blue with their coverage of Adelaide Oval Welcome to Country?
Channel 9’s pre-Origin show has come under fire, with the network cutting away from the now-traditional Welcome to Country at the Adelaide Oval, to presenters Karl Stefanovic and Andrew ‘Joey’ Johns.
Fans took to social media to voice their displeasure over the decision, with former AFL footballer and Indigenous advocate Tony Armstrong among them.
Channel 9 just started commentating over the Welcome to Country. Cool cool cool.

Cutting away from the Welcome to Country. Are you for real Nine? #Origin

I clocked about 20 seconds of the Welcome to Country before they cut to the commentators. Interesting decision considering the anthem debacle. https://t.co/NrqK0cUVbq
