Does Channel 7 take the rights to cover the Olympic Games Seriously?

Question

why are we watching AFL when the Olympics are on??????????

Answer 1

No! The great AFL God reigns supreme. Still it does not  give us a chance to catch up on our other work.  Hercule Pierot is a good aside on the ABC.  Intelligent drama as opposed to the inane prattling of the 7 crew.

Answer 2

The good news is channel 9 have secured the rights to London 2012 telecasts.

Answer 3

They obviously do not take it seriously at all, but enjoy earning revenue from their advertising.

The reason we are watching AFL instead of the Olympics is that 7 has contractual arrangements with the AFL, which means they have to show it. This is the c**p excuse for bad forward planning. I ask why they didn't give the footy games to channel 10 for these two weeks.

Channel 7 has complete and utter contempt for the Australian public, absolutely no doubt about this whatsoever.

I am furious.

Answer 4

.......  i just don't know what to say :(

Channel 7 sucks!

Answer 5

Stuart is right. Its contract that they have to show games, but yes being smart and giving rights to 10 would have been intelligent. But judging by the entire olympics telecast, intelligence isnt channel 7's strong point.
