This might be a stupid question, but what is 7flix showing during the Olympics? Might be a good chance for themed programming like Family Guy or Hardcore Pawn marathons etc
It looks like Seven is ‘Bringing It Home’
Insert prime promo here 
Fox8 achieved its highest ratings ever (at the time) by running the Simpsons 24/7 during the Sydney Olympics
7Flix should do similar
Family Guy and Big Bang 24/7 would be a good stunt.
I’m looking for a full detailed schedule for each sport (not TV schedule, but the actual events), e.g., heat times for athletics events, but I’m having no luck. The schedule on the official site only shows which sport is on which day AFAICT.
Are you looking for something like this?

They have the schedules for all the various sports.
Yeah, looks good. Thanks. All my Googling efforts failed to find anything like that. I’m surprised that that detail is not on the official Rio site. I think London had it.
The athletes are basically living in a building site… they’re hardly running with a high standard of functionality
