New Zealand TV

Atrocious

Too many ads (cutting to ads during netball games then resuming on other side several minutes later), showing non-NZ events at expense of NZers (I can cop this if it’s a blue riband event…but instead of Kiwis in track cycling knockouts this afternoon we got Canada v Sierra Leone in beach volleyball).

The only sports reporter/presenter they have fronting the coverage is inexplicably only on TVNZ Duke (Guy Heveldt) while they have News and current affairs hosts presenting on the main channel.

Coverage seems to move around channels for no reason.

It’s a very good advertisement for what Sky has done with Comm Games/Olympics since they got them in 2010. (Use FTA Prime to show wide range of events, bit of everything then have 8-10 separate feeds on Sky Sport of individual sports to watch start to finish.)

In conclusion, it’s virtually unwatchable.
