Still a very poor showing from Channel Seven.
Their whole coverage of the games has been second rate.

Fabulous win to the Fijians, Bula Bula!! I think its their first ever gold medal?
Was brilliant to see the Poms totally dominated, well played Fiji. I imagine the party will go on for some time.
Thankfully thats the end of my olympic watching, dont think i could stand much more of the hopelessly buggy Ch7 app i paid $20 for!

Not in this instance...........
If anyone thinks that an Australian broadcaster is going to switch away from Australian teams competing to show a 7's Rugby Final - they're dreaming.

Heard a report that said it is Fiji's first ever medal, and the first ever gold medal to a small Pacific Island nation.

Rubbish. They've got four channels.

3 channels......
Only 2 of them fully dedicated to live events right now as Sunrise is on the main channel.

No matter how many channels, it has been all round a disappointing performance by Ch 7.

While not all can carry sports, they've actually got five spectral channels.
Two of which were showing basketball.
And no Sunrise in WA.

This is all fairly tedious, but..........
The main channel is currently showing Sunrise, even in WA.
The two other 7 channels (7Two and 7Mate) were showing basketball and hockey at the time - they're the only two fully dedicated live Olympic channels while Sunrise is on air.
7Flix doesn't carry sports.........
7HD is the main channel - in HD...........
And Racing.com, well..... that seems pretty obvious.

Probably? So three channels of basketball now. Left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.

Er, no.........
Sunrise regularly crosses briefly to live events in between their other rubbish to show what's going on...........
They also showed a bit of the first half of the 7's final, and a bit of the hockey, and whatever else was going on...........
I'm not sure how you've come to three channels though?
Usual crap Olympics broadcast from Channel 7, they do it every time. WTF do they think we, the viewers, are interested in those ugly wank-sessions from the big-glass studios? They tell us NOTHING we don't already know and take up valuable viewing time when we'd rather be watching events, any events. And what is it about slipping in references to AFL at every opportunity? What relevance does a narrow, insular, provincial sport have to do with international competitions?
Just wait until next week when there're few Aussies running around in athletics, that's when the mind-numbingly general interest pieces pop up with painful regularity. Interviews with swimmers wandering around the shops and cafes in Rio. Little Jimmy/Charlotte boring us with their life stories leading up to flashbacks of early morning pool sessions.
How could a professional broadcaster not get three sports on three channels? Can't they count? And if I see one more of those garish studio shots I'll scream. Another thing Channel 7: I have no intention of watching ANY of your post-games programs, putting your promos up while detracting from my games viewing experience kills them for me.

I was suggesting by his measure that a team smashing another suggests it's a soft medal so that should extrapolate to the men's medal as well
