Brisbane 2032 Olympic Hosting Announcement

This should be a good one!

Damian Ryan has been at Nine since 1994, was a reporter at Ten for their Sydney news during the Early '90s. Quite possibly poached after impressive coverage of the January 1994 NSW Bushfire Crisis for Ten. But that’s beside the point…

Knowing that he’s covered previous Olympic Games, surely Damian Ryan would hold some form of “Network Olympics Reporter” position at Nine News?

It would probably be a similar story for some at the other networks, particularly Seven where Chris Reason has done quite a lot of Olympics reports/coverage for their news over the years.

I don’t think such positions really exist.

Brisbane had an extended update that included reactions from Southbank. Then a short promo that ended. “10 News First and Queensland together for 2032”.

Peter Overton said on the cross “we cross now to Olympics reporter Damien Ryan”

Many years ago Nine has Michael Usher at Olympics reporter in the lead up and including the Sydney games.

Early last year before 2020 was canceled 10 had labeled and crossed to Dan Sutton as Olympics reporter.

Do they intend to have Brisbane based news presenters by 2032?

And on mine it is FWAW from 7.31-11.30!

The Commonwealth Games were excellent. Superb organisation, fantastic venues and transport… it was only the closing ceremony which was a dud.

Australian broadcasters won’t be happy if swimming finals gets moved to the afternoon to allow maximum ratings in primetime for American audiences (NBC owns the rights to all Olympics until Brisbane 2032)

I listened on 7plus driving home in the car and I heard it perfectly.

I wonder why Pat Welsh wasn’t part of tonight’s coverage (not including the voice over for intro)

It has been reported that he is not involved with the Olympic coverage this year. Maybe that’s why?

I feel both the opening and closing were duds.

Opening ceremony wasn’t too bad

I think for what is supposed to have all the eyes as the opening event it was a distant 3rd to previous 2006 comm games and Sydney 2000.

The bid video which I really like.

And the venue fly through master plan.
