It really annoys the OCD in me that they have used the stacked version of the 7mate logo rather than the single line so it looked balanced next to the 7plus logo.

What’s the use of Paralympic Games broadcast rights if Seven does not use them properly? Not only it forces viewers until Saturday morning to see highlights of tonight’s Pyeongchang Winter Games opening ceremony, it won’t stream the event live on 7plus. And since Seven has the broadcast rights we can’t watch the live streaming of the event on YouTube. When the ABC had the rights the YouTube streaming was also available in Australia. It’s just not fair!

News Corp is slamming 7 for not showing the Paralympics live

[JohnsonTV]

I also notice complaints on social media have been growing since Simon Patmore won gold yesterday. Hopefully the Australian Paralympic Committee (which I believe manages the Paralympics broadcast rights here) will finally take notice.
