Summer RIO 2016 - Ch7 Olympic Coverage Discussion Thread (All Complaints Here)

[rippersnipper]

Imagine all 3 channels going to ads at the same time.....

 

[JackNah_8]

these ads are longer than the races

 

[raven echo]

AIS/WNBL should archive this to show us all and budding young b-ballers again what not to do with the last play of the game

Should be put on a never ending loop at the AIS facilities

 

[rippersnipper]

No one will be there though because all the funding will be cut

from now on they'll all be self funded lol

 

[drd23]

Surely a new low here going for adds between each C1 200m heat - they go for 38 seconds FFS

No because they did the same between the heats of the mens 100m

 

[Keys]

If there was a sudden massive outbreak of horse flu in rio not a single **** would be given by me

 

[Flameboy]

Yeah it f*cked up all the excitement I had for watching them. Can't enjoy something when there are ads on 50% of the time.

 

[Hawks1523]

Omg they showed an exposed boob at water polo I demand action be taken!

 

[Keys]

Always at least one exposed boob in a women's water polo tournament

 

[rocker_oz33]

Seriously, how many different sports have we seen on 7? SFA!!!!

It's basically been

Swimming
Basketball
Athletics
Cycling
Equestrian
Golf
Beach Volleyball
Womens Football

wash rinse repeat!

add to that the appalling commentary it's been quite disgusting the coverage of these Olympics.

Hopefully Tokyo will be better because of the better time zone they're in.

Yep shithouse to many replays aswell.
Buzz TV is enough for people to stab them self in the eye with a fork.

Last time I really liked watching the handball,volleyball and weightlifting all track events.
Yep agree about the time zone,that should help.

Y'all need to get the app. You watch an ad to get into each stream, and you can watch everything. For 20 bucks.

Where is this image/footage?

For outrage purposes... yeah...

I doubt it's out here anywhere although the female announcer made mention of it. A lady was laying on her back and you could see the exposed boob. It was quite outrageous I've send a angrily worded email to ch7.

About 3 months ago i saw he and his wife at the local park playing with their kid in the playground next to my kid, i had never seen him around before and noticed his wife who looked smokin hot and you could tell she was eastern European athlete. Got my phone out and googled them on the spot and saw who she was and that she was an accused drug cheat. Means nothing about his career but its not a good look for him professionally.

 

[iluvparis]

Not sure how marrying an athlete who has failed a drug test is a bad look for a sports broadcaster - it's not like he still competes :S

 

[Cleavy]

Long jump on 2 channels. Oh joy!

 

[Keys]

Long jump on 2 channels. Oh joy!

And a replay of the boomers basketball on the other

Makes sense

Why does it matter what he does off the track? His personal life is exactly that. Does not matter one bit.

I hope Ch7 get fined for claiming that some of their coverage is live and free. The long jump is the perfect example. It's on Ch72 live I assume, but they also have it on Ch7 a little behind in the coverage. Yet they are claiming that it's live and free.

Very misleading.
