Can Channel7 be any worse with the Boomers?

Question

Channel 7 in Australia are the worst, they refuse to show our men's basketball even against the USA. Do they hate the Boomers?

Answer 1

Try changing the channel to USA instead of whining about channel 7

Answer 2

wtf is seven's problem? a commercial break with 4 min left in a game?  

Answer 3

Overall a badly covered game.  The commentating is bad and the commercial breaks just shows how money driven they are.

I wanted to watch a talented team play and all they did was show commercials.  Good effort by the Boomers, but pure and simply USA just too good.

Why is everyone hating on the USA? People calling them names... quite pitiful if you ask me, it's not like Spain and Argentina don't carry the same swagger.

Answer 4

I think so!!! They need to get it sorted out. Missing out on so much coverage because of bad programming.

Answer 5

Between the regular and long ad breaks, ridiculous commentary and horrendous coverage it's almost like channel 7 is trying to make everyone sick of the Olympics so channel 9 doesn't enjoy the ratings channel 7 has enjoyed in previous years. It really is a disgrace.

Answer 6

I don't know what you doing or watching, but I have Aus v USA on 7 right now (2136 WST) and it's been on since the first quarter.

Answer 7

i cant fu kn believe it worst coverage ever!

Answer 8

Yeah, gotta love how they really have to show ads etc in the middle of live matches involving Australia. Wake up 7 your coverage is s%#t.

Answer 9

You don't really want to see your team get hammered anyway.

Answer 10

no they really suck.. some idiot reckons they showed the first quarter... umm no they didnt.. and it was the only decent quarter.. and andrew gaze is a terrible 1 sided commentator.. yes they hate the boomers.. ads on subs !!! what are they thinkin rreally.. money i guess ?

Answer 11

Sad to say it, but I think tonight was probably their best coverage!  They actually showed a sport with Australian's for once live, and only cut to adbreaks when each team was changing sides...

Having said that, it was hopeless with the basketball.  The softball was great, but I was really looking forward to the Boomers, particularly since it was advertised like crazy.  Why can't they use their digital channels and cover two sports at once??

Answer 12

Who wants to watch too much of those over-hyped, big-headed egotistical USA basketball team anyway? The Redeem Team - yeah right !
