That’s good, but not at the expense of the taxpayer. Channel Nine sent a team of over 100 employees to Paris for the games and set up its own studios in Paris, and the taxpayer paid nothing. Channel Nine paid for everything, unlike the ABC, which sent four people: these two dimbats (being the hosts), a producer, and another employee. The $135k was spent on flights, accommodation, hospitality, equipment, transport, and broadcasting costs. Gee wiz, we are breaking backs with work, uni, or doing both, and these muppets are drinking Moët, sleeping in 5-star hotels, and tanning themselves in the hot sun in France, while the rest of us back home can’t afford to do the simple things in life. Yeah, not a good look.
ABC provides good coverage though, nine is shite.
ABC is great value imo
