7plus will air the Opening Ceremony live in all markets

I wonder if anyone in Perth is waking up at 4:45am to watch 7s coverage of something that happened 2 hours ago.

Who knows? Are they likely to wake up at 2.45 though? Just watch it live on 7+

AFL is on the main channel in Melbourne and Adelaide, at least on the first night.

That’s unusual, normally Olympics/Winter Olympics/Comm Games takes precedence (even in Melbourne and Adelaide), I’m positive this occured during Gold Coast 2018. I doubt the AFL would’ve specifically requested, they would surely expect to be bumped.
So perhaps Seven think the event offerings/time zone that night might not do as well as the AFL?

The Sunday Telegraph’s Phil Rothfield writes that Seven has signed Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Harry Garside to commentate boxing at the Commonwealth Games, alongside Jon Harker.

Another multisport event to watch this winter. Thought the morning session will be on 7mate due to Sunrise in Perth

Unless there’s an error, is there a reason why Commonwealth Games coverage is only airing on one channel (7Two) in Melbourne on Saturday 30 July when everywhere else is getting coverage on two channels?

Thanks - now fixed.

On the Saturday, in Perth, the main channel broadcast will switch to 7flix at 6pm for one hour, because of Seven News (and 7Two and 7mate already having other Comm Games and AFL), with the time zone also to blame.
Very rare for this channel to be used for live sport.

Is there going to be comm games on two channels at once?
GWN7 viewers will unfortunately have to switch to 7+ during that hour.

Definitely, because of swimming heats from July 29 to August 3, and track event heats from August 2 to 7. So one channel will be used to show the heats while another channel will air other sports.

Not the best line-up to retain audience, couldn’t they have tried a sports panel / chat / highlights show or something, similar to Yum Cha or whatever? Especially those 1pm and 3:35pm programs!

It’s filler for Sydney as most markets will be showing AFL on the main channel.

Not in Melbourne and they’re Foxtel’s productions anyway.
