True although IIRC Nine’s former CEO Hugh Marks said something about not being interested in short form sporting competitions as it’s hard to make a profit, which was the main reason they walked away from the T20 Cricket World Cup.
Unless if the price is right (aka not as exorbitant as they stand at the moment) I don’t think Nine will bother.
Is there anything live on?
What’s with all the replays.
According to the ABC News blog there’s rowing happening this morning in addition to swimming later on.
If Seven aren’t showing any of those then that’s just stupid.
Rowing Finals have already begun
Well 7 are showing soccer and mate gymnastics all from last night.
I’m sure we’ll be able to catch today’s rowing and swimming this time tomorrow 
Yes the B finals are on now and it seems not much else according to the official Tokyo 2020 app.
The edges cut off quite considerably off the feed.
Things aren’t good for NBC
I got caught up in that - thought it was an issue with my Internet for a minute but turned out someone at Seven cut the stream early at the worst time imaginable (2 outs in the bottom of the 7th inning) in the worst event possible (ie; a Gold Medal Game).
Peacock was never promoted as offering everything from the Olympics but rather as being a destination for live coverage of certain sports (eg; gymnastics + track & field on the free tier and Team USA men’s basketball games for paid subscribers) and other Olympics programming.
To be frank, a lot of the criticism about NBC’s coverage is overexaggerated/misguided from people seemingly wanting/waiting to find something to criticize about. The issue with that is it detracts from the aspects of their coverage which warrant criticism (eg; the limited coverage of live events on NBC proper)
So no pre-emtion fro The Chase tonight. Be interesting to see if The Chase numbers are down as people switch to 7Two for coverage.
I’m not sure how putting most sports behind a paywall would be a step forward in coverage
I think having access to everything live and free has been really beneficial for viewers who love certain sports. 7 know this and have seen massive streaming mins because of this!!
7 did it in 2016 and it wouldn’t be exclusively so there would still be a FTA component.
