Who has the radio rights for the Winters in Australia?

No one unfortunately.

[VictorianSun]

That’s a shame. Would’ve been good then for seven to have a DAB channel like they did for rio then

[BigVic]

Should be Men’s 10,000m on the app which is showing Men’s 1000m instead

Andy Maher said on tonight’s premiere of The Summer Chill that there would only be four more episodes: tomorrow, Sunday, next Friday (February 18) and next Saturday (February 19).

[yellow_sock]

That’s a short season of the show.

Also, is The Summer Chill from 7.30-10pm aedt? And is there any actual coverage of the games during this program or afterwards?

Day 8 Saturday 12 February

In an Olympic first, Australian snowboarding duos Belle Brockhoff and Cam Bolton, and Josie Baff and Adam Lambert will make history when they race in the inaugural Mixed Team Snowboard Cross as pairs.

After an incredible first-placed run in the qualifiers, Australia’s Skeleton superstar Jaclyn Narracott goes for gold, laying face-down on the ice track and hitting speeds of up to 120 kilometres per hour. The first Aussie to ever win a skeleton World Cup event – could Jaclyn bring home Australia’s next Beijing 2022 gold medal?

Highly decorated Australian aerial skier, Jacqui Cooper will join Andrew Gaze and Andy Maher for The Summer Chill, alongside Beijing 2022 Olympic gold medallist, Jakara Anthony, Eddie the Eagle and Alisa Camplin.

NBC have a speedometer in the top left.

We had that earlier in the week on something here in the UK but not seen it since. Really think it is useless information for the general viewer - doesn’t add anything and it’s the sort of thing better just flashing up at the split times.

So often sport over complicates their graphics nowadays with information viewers don’t really need - or don’t need permanently on screen at least. The pictures should always be the most prominent way to broadcast how an event is unfolding.

So glad that leigh diffey got to call Australia’s first ever sliding sport medal

I’m really not sure we need a “Aussie Medal Alert” for an event that happened last night that Seven are repeating in primetime

@Brekkie

Really think it is useless information for the general viewer - doesn’t add anything and it’s the sort of thing better just flashing up at the split times.

I quite like it, it gives you a really good indication of the difference between competitors and helps explain why they’re slower (or faster) than another competitor.

[cmo]

I’ve found the prime time coverage to be a disaster. Just replays and stupid shit. Disappointing yet again.

[BigVic]

I’ve been watching most of the events on the 7+ app. They’re lots of live sports going on now

[bacco007]

Doesn’t help our prime time lines up with a gap between the afternoon and evening sessions
