Why is Australia's Olympic Coverage by Channel 7 such a joke?

Question

Whenever a viewer gets into an event, it's almost as if someone changes the channel.

Answer 1

Yep, it will be a very long time before they live this down.

The coverage has been a shocker right from the opening ceremony.

Answer 2

I know.

Yesterday they failed to show Steve Hooker win his gold live because they showed the footy instead.

Then they do the exact same thing today by failing to show Ken Wallace win his canoe/kayak gold because they chose to put the soccer final on, which SBS was showing anyway!!!

Unbelievable incompetence.

Email Channel 7 everyone please!

Answer 3

Because they've had the monopoly for too long. That makes any organisation arrogant, and they get sloppy because they figure they don't have to try so hard.

I was REALLY pleased to hear that they won't have the rights to the games in 2012. I hope whoever has got them does the right thing by the viewers.... all of them, including the ones who work nights!!

Answer 4

um .. coz its channel 7. Switch to sbs
