To view all other sports on Channel 7's website,they want you to sign up to a premium paid service.

They can get f**ked.The only channel in the world charging to view what should be completely free.

 

[Mr Angry]

I thought I would give it ago, then the ads started, will pass and watch the highlights without ads.
Turn a person off they do.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Channel 7s coverage is pretty half-arsed and dull.

Nah mate, Sky TV in New Zealand, pay tv have the rights here, they have the only live coverage, Sky has a free to air channel called Prime which only has delayed coverage, total cop out by Sky, as they are deliberately preventing people who can't have afford Sky from having live coverage. I was under the belief this was against IOC principles that every person was untiled to access to live coverage free to air.

Rio officials reportedly closed the green diving pool Friday morning after the water began to smell 'like a fart'

If you're referring to the FTA channels,which have a mind numbing cringe-worthy idea in how people should watch only Australia,they can have it.

I've got all Olympic sports TV wrapped up,and for free,and I ain't telling.

 

[Shorty]

Well that's not fair!

 

[Pommy]

I'm glad it's not just me who thinks channel 7s coverage is a bit amateur.
I don't want to sound like a whinging Pom saying everything's better in blights but it really does make you appreciate the BBCs coverage. Due to the mandatory TV licence they're just able to do things commercial TV are not.

Did anyone just see Murray win a gold medal? He looked like a man who just put everything on red and lost.

They have 3 channels and the same sport on 2 of them half the time.

Yep happened today with the diving.

Beijing and London coverage was better.

Foxtel also had the rights for it and had 8 different channels running at once along with what 9 were showing.
