The 1974 VFL Grand Final, between Richmond and North Melbourne, is broadcast live from Melbourne. However, Melbourne viewers would continue to be denied live TV coverage of the Grand Final as Melbourne channels ABV2 and HSV7 declined to match the VFL’s asking price of $50,000 for rights to the live coverage.
Melbourne, and Victorian, viewers would not get to see the VFL Grand Final live on TV until 1977.
