The Front Bar (formerly Friday Front Bar) is an Australian Football League-based talk show that airs on the Seven Network.[1] The show is hosted by journalist Andrew Maher, and comedians Mick Molloy and Sam Pang.
History
The show, which airs from March to September during the AFL season, launched in 2015 as an online-only show on the official AFL website, AFL.com.au. In 2016, the Seven Network picked up the show, with episodes being split into two segments, with the first half being uploaded to AFL.com.au on Friday afternoon and the second half airing after the Friday night match on the Seven Network in the traditional AFL states and on 7mate in New South Wales and Queensland. Episodes were filmed at the All Nations Hotel in Richmond, Victoria.[2]
In 2017, the show was renamed to The Front Bar and extended to a one-hour studio-based format.[3] In April, the show moved to Thursday nights to go head-to-head with the Nine Network's long-running The Footy Show.[3] The series is co-produced by Molloy Productions and Carlton Draught, with episodes generally featuring the hosts drinking Carlton Draught beer as they discuss the week's topics.[1]
