Why is Channel 7 replaying the 4x200 swim again instead of showing the basketball uninterupted.?

Question

Is anyone really interested in seeing this replay at 11pm? Yes, Australia won gold but it has been on the news all day.

Answer 1

swimming is never a big deal for anyone but us swimmers.

we have to deal wih all other sports and only every 4 years does our sport get broadcasted.

my advice is suck it up and wait for it to come on

Answer 2

The media will offer what sells. The public wants to see the Australians win gold. They want to see swimming. When the Aussies win gold in swimming and smash the WR they will put it on the 'tube' (sell, sell, sell) to draw the audience.

They didn't in the men's race because the Aussies didn't win the gold.

If the Aussies win gold in Basketball be assured it will replay at 11.

Enjoy!

Answer 3

yea i think is disrepectful with the rest of the audience I wish I could see other sports beside swimming and rowing, as it is I'm watching SBS now for full Olympics coverage.
