I think for 3AW it may have been a commercial decision as well as a statement from their Sydney management that the incursion of football into regular, lucrative and profitable weekday programming is a burden upon the business's profitability. Live football is very expensive programming to produce compared to weeknight talkback programming. 3AW's Winter weekend programming is mostly dedicated to football coverage. It's their weekday programming that is probably the most profitable for them though.
