snippet1 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 and now another 1 in shooting Yeah that was exciting! Channel 7 must be getting such good ratings from the Olympics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golazo Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 yeh, i don't think channel 7 are doing a good job they don't properly tell us when the events will be on and they just leave team events to go to something else... sbs are doing good for their first olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54622_1437839486 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 u can check a tv guide. i think the events are always the same time. say 630 for swimming and again at midnight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most of the team stuff goes to SBS. SBS has a problem with broadcasting events with Australians. /edit: Elaboarting on ?bACKLASH_'s comment - the Herald Sun has had a quite extensive guide in the TV Guide for the pas two weeks (provided by Ch. 7, by the looks of it).

snippet1 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 It's not just the team events SBS doesen't do Aussie. You have to remember - Ch. 7 has the rights - SBS are lucky to have any of it at all. I must say - good job to Ch. 7 on the Swimming - any people overseas noticed the quality of the coverage on the Aquatics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golazo Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 yehh they've done good on the swimming...7 went to sbs and asked if they wanted to have some of their coverage because they wouldnt use it all. so sbs is using what theyve been given 7 has all the rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
