Coverage on free to air has improved with multi-channeling on 7, 7Two and 7mate but thereâs only one HD channel

Hahahahaah⌠That is woeful. And to think ten and nine dipped out of the bidding after Sochi and just let seven have the games. Mightâve cost a lot but surely itâs worth it.
Just look at the shit shows seven is promoting that will now rate well due to the games exposure. Are they seriously kidding themselves with this desserts program? This home and away plane crashâŚpreposterous. I for one wonât be watching anything that seven promotes. They are just plain bad programs.

Comparing with first night of London 2012, Nine Network had 51.7% share with Seven at 18.1% and Ten 13.4%. Remember at the time, the Olympics were simulcast on both Nine and Gem.

7flix rated less than 3.0 last night. Seven would have been better to have had a fourth Olympics channel on 7flix as whatever they are showing is not attractive to anyone.

Has anyone seen the Ricky Gervais promo where he promotes Seven screening the Olympics? I just saw it on 7mate.

Itâs pretty much a copy of his Optus ads.

Olympics or no olympics I find tens audience laughable. They are a major commercial network and they just serve up slop. Deserve what they get for not competing in news and sports.

Iâve only seen metro+regional combined for individual sessions come through from Seven this morning. Cynic will have all the metro ratings up as they come in.

Good call from Basil and Giaan. Sheâs actually quite a good analyst.
Why the fuck is 7two playing delayed highlights from earlier in the day when there are still live events going on in rio. They should play live all the time if thereâs something on. Is this some shit strategy to push viewers to the main channel for the swimming and for people to pay for the app? Poor form.

Jim Wilson is as irritating as ever. His voice is so grating.

Iâm pretty sure that this is largely because regional viewers outside of Queensland canât get 7flix yet. It would be poor form to promote coverage on 7/7TWO/7mate that a large chunk of viewers canât get. At least with the HD promos itâs not actual content that viewers are missing out on, just picture quality a lot of people arenât too phased about anyway.
