Not their fault arguably - it’d be produced by Supercars Media (or whatever they call their production arm these days) like everything else, and it also did go out on Fox Sports’ channel, indeed live there.
Seven could have easily just let everyone deal with it being delayed, so at least the 7plus option was something for those not following Bathurst on Foxtel.

To be fair, all the networks do it. My biggest beef is when they say shows/channels are “live-streamed” on their apps. There’s nothing live about them. They’re streamed or relayed, but the shows aren’t happening live, they’re prerecorded movies, dramas etc.
But that discussion is probably for another time, in another forum.

It looks like today’s Bathurst 1000 race will finish close to 6pm AEDT. It will be interesting to see if Seven will show the podium presentation on the main channel in Sydney and Melbourne (so the new season of Australia’s Got Talent can start at 7pm as scheduled), or show it on a multichannel. The problem is that 7mate in Sydney is showing the AFLW clash between Collingwood and GWS, and Gone with the Wind is now on 7flix, so 7TWO will be the only option for Sydney.

They’ll probably just shorten the bulletin so it still ends at 7pm like Nine News does when the NRL goes past 6pm on a Sunday.

Wait did they move the race to 7Two on the last lap?

They started showing the race on 7Two but main channel still has coverage. Switch to 7Two in Sydney and Melbourne at 6:05pm. when the main channel switched to Victory Lane.

Good to hear. Imagine the uproar if they moved it on the last lap.

Didn’t catch any pre-race coverage this year. I’m assuming Beretts hosted solo?

Did Seven not bother to revise the audience numbers for Bathurst 1000 podium, since it aired on 7TWO in Sydney and Melbourne?

Looks like it. Typical Commercial Telwvision. Over hyping media releases, then not mention anyting a week later when the ratings timeshifting results are in.
Seven will show six Supercars championship races in 2023, including the season opener at Newcastle, Bathurst 1000 and the season ending Adelaide 500, as the new Gen3 era (Camaro v Mustang) begins. The six events will also be streamed live on 7plus.

Also showing. It’s the same broadcast.
Seven must make a lot of money from the infomercials on The Morning Show to be showing a Weekend edition of that instead of live Bathurst today. They do the same thing for racing in QLD - when live racing is on in NSW and Victoria, Queensland is getting TMS.
