Olympics Coverage - History

To say Hamish “isn’t well known” I doubt is true?

He’s very well known in AFL markets.

Yes, he’s not used nationally regularly, but he’s used annually for major sporting events, for a long time now.

Is there seriously anyone here who has NEVER seen/heard him?

(i.e.) Australian Open the past 9 years… :confused:

NB/
I think Ch 7 like him, because in many years time he’ll be taking over from Bruce McAvaney / leading 7 Sport over the next few decades? He’s what, 40+? Plus yes, strong links to the AFL.

He does quite a few things on Ten. From motorsport to rugby union, and even the occasional story on Ten News.

Defending ten and their pathetic sports line up again? If I was a sports broadcaster I know where I would rather be working and it’s not for ten to present simulcast sports events.

Same was shown on Prime also, just with Prime7 logo and voiceover said Prime instead of Seven.

Olympics set looks completely virtual?

Sorry if I’m late to the party on this one but where exactly is Hamish presenting from? Is this from a Melbourne/Sydney studio? Or is in Rio?

Certainly doesn’t look like the latter if he is!

Seven studios in Eveleigh, Sydney.

7two’s coverage has begun with live coverage of the rowing. Good that the commentators are on the ground as it adds to the authenticity of the coverage.

Someone called Richo was the host. I tuned in too late to see who he was and what the studio was like. Clearly some other unknown seven has wheeled out to host coverage.

After stuffing around with the app I finally got access to the premium content.

Yes, click on LIVE and then there should be some lock icons. Make sure you are on 4G and then press the lock icons and it directs you to a screen, click Activate and it’s done.

Used the Olympics mobile app, the normal desktop version is coming up No Internet Connection which is crap cause I can post here easily.
