Seven can only say with certainty what is to be shown on a particular channel. In the past they have sent through information on a daily basis once results of heats etc are known. Unexpected positive results can also see sports being promoted to the main channel when they might have been expected to air on 7Mate or not at all.

With the news that NSW have closed the border to VIC (in addition to VIC having closed it to NSW), is it safe to say that Seven will have their Sydney based hosts present Olympic coverage out of Sevenâs Eveleigh or Martin Place studios? Or is Melbourne still a chance if they get travel exemptions?

yep.
Theyâll get travel exemptions for sure. If footy players can get them, these guys surely canâŠ
Going beyond with the events this year I see.

Seven had a brand new set shipped into Melbourne from overseas for Tokyo 2020, according to Kurt Burnette. So if half their hosts canât get exemptions, whoops, instant fail right there

Out of curiosity, did you have a source of him referencing this?
I wouldnât bank on it
Why should they get exemptions? Theyâre not performing a critical function that requires them to be physically in Melbourne. Other sports coverage has operated on a remote basis for 18 months now, remote coverage of the Olympics ainât special

Agreed. Surely if worst comes to worst, the Sydney-based presenters/commentators of Sevenâs Olympics Coverage can do their thing from Eveleigh?

Looks like some of the coverage was coming from Sydney and the main broadcast coming from Melbourne.

Wasnât he mysteriously missing from Sevenâs info Cynic posted too? Wonder if this was already decided a while ago, although he did say âlate scratchingâ so have to take his word.
He hosted 7Two and 7mate at Rio 2016, did he do 7Two at all at Gold Coast 2018?
Iâm guessing studios / space is already maxed at BCM Docklands and NEP South Melb and/or all the set-up for 7mate channel has already been planned in Sydney (Iâm guessing NEP Sydney or a mixture of it and Eveleigh and Martin Place)? Also good redundancy if something major goes wrong technically in either city.
Itâs probably the most technical games too, considering youâve got so much more virtual/digital with coronavirus and many facilities in different locations (OBS and BBC Tokyo, NPC Media Sydney, BCM and NEP Melbourne, as well as other facilities in Sydney possibly and others like telcos Telstra, etc.
Given Copeland, Freedman and Stubbs weâre doing 7mate it seems like maybe 7mate hub is in Sydney

So she was already in Melbourne.
I wonder what they will do with the other Sydney presenters?

Iâm expecting that big screen they use to shoot promos at Eveleigh to be used a lot.
