Heâs not the only person to say that, seen it a few times on Threads of people complaining about 9âs coverage being mainly on Stan and not like in Paris when they had more of the events on 9Now. Doesnât help that the winter Olympics donât have as much appeal as the summer Olympics.

Seen a lot of different people talking about this. How this is different from Paris & also different to how 7 treated 2022 Winter Olympics too.
I understand people arenât fully into Winter Olympics compared to summer and so they would have been putting everything on Stan and nothing on 9Now like with Paris. But they could have still had some events on 9Now.
Also I wonder if this is how they will treat LA 2028. 9 & 9Gem only with other live streams on Stan. Maybe 2024 Paris was a test to get people on board with their first Olympics broadcast and thatâs why they had everything on 9Now.

Nine have changed Stanâs operational and commercial model, under new boss Amanda Laing, bringing the paid streamer more âin-houseâ as opposed to being run as a standalone subsidiary. This was mentioned earlier last year.
And itâs why Stan Sport, for the first time, was heavily cross-promoted and referenced frequently, almost more than 9Now, during this years Australian Open. Previous years it was almost seldom mentioned on Nine.
Itâd be fascinating to see Stanâs subscriber (and viewership - almost an âicing on the cakeâ given recent OzTAM ratings alone) lift this year, especially Sport and certainly considering this Winter Olympics exclusivity.

Are they running that short on appealing events that the two Aussies couldnât be listed on a single column for the big air final?
Or they wanted to show a picture/footage of them both - and the template doesnât allow for a 2-1 box split.

Nine really couldâve started tonightâs live telecast at 8pm edt, considering Day 3 events donât begin until 8:05pm and theyâve had 9Gem replays all day and a main channel highlights show as well. Or had 7:30pm as âPre Showâ.
The last 30min was just Bracey and Langdon talking, offering their thoughts and sorrows to Lindsey Vonn (including another unmatchable replay of the crash but NBCâs POV this time), live-crossed to x3 reporters, showing the Aussie womenâs freeski slopestyle runs ahead of tomorrow morningâs final and a colour piece with Woodbridge.
Theyâre about to go to the Curling.
Todd Woodbridge doing cooking segments now? At least SBS did it in style with their âTaste le Tourâ segments with Gabriel Gate (and now âPlat du tourâ with Guillaume Brahimi) during the Tour de France long coverage as filler. lol.

The funny thing is theyâll have the reverse problem tomorrow with the âpre-showâ starting at 7.30pm despite the first event at 7.15pm.
Full screen and V/O âchannel changeâ board, at the telecast conclusion on 9Gem at 9:08pm local tonight:
They shouldâve done similar with the tennis, instead of just crashing in with Antiques Roadshow, which also saw some poor reception online.
Seven used to do these.
Jess Fox now appearing in-studio with Ally and James.
She says it was â40 degrees in Penrithâ when she left.
Why the hell is Nine rebroadcasting part of the menâs figure skating event this morning?
An ice hockey matchup is happening now. The womenâs freestyle skiing final is coming up in 15 minutes.
Of course being them, outside of 9Gem daytime, thereâs no disclaimer on the screen so some viewers will be tricked into thinking itâs live.

I noticed they also sometimes insert ads at inopportune times and then we end up watching a few minutes delay instead of truely live. It would be nice if they had to disclose whether it was live or not.
