The Seven set even has a TV showing the main channel (I assume) via satellite from Australia.

Pretty big set up from the Seven Network.
This question may have been answered before - but will the 7plus streams use Australian commentary or IOC?
I donât think that has been confirmed or announced. I would assume it will use the IOC commentary feed given they are providing 40+ live channels.

Absolutely. Itâll be like previous Olympics, Comm Games, tennis. Youâll get the 7 and 7mate live streams (with Seven commentators or seconded commentary from BBC or OBS which theyâve done previously). And then youâll get the raw feeds (the â40 channelsâ) with OBS/World feed commentary.

Do we know is ABC, SBS or Sky News have any reporters on the ground in Tokyo?
ABC already has Jake Sturmer in Tokyo as North Asia correspondent.
Rooney has been forced to withdraw from the coverage due to the current travel restrictions with Victoria (she lives in rural NSW, which is now a red zone, and most of Sevenâs commentary will be done in Melbourne). She tweeted on Saturday:

On The Latest last night Chris Reason said the 2032 Olympic vote would occur at 6:15 pm AEST and the result would be announced at 6:30 pm. It would be broadcast live for Queensland viewers, he said.

We want it broadcast live for the rest of the country too!
it will be live on the IOCâs youtube channel and iâm sure youâd be able to watch the replay on 7+
And on the Olympics Channel on 7+. They will do a breaking news for the rest of the country as soon as each bulletin can once it is announced.

Why donât you have any national pride? This is a historic and proud announcement for our nation.
Do we think this will be Bruceâs final Olympics? He is 68. Maybe he goes around for one final Olympics in 2024 given it is only 3 years away and make his last?
Australia has hosted the Olympics before, so itâs not historic, really.
Proud - well, every other hosting bid floundered in the wake of Covid. So theyâre Bradburying over the finish line.
Itâs also not compulsory to think hosting the Olympics is a good thing. The Olympics tend to cripple cities and the often spouted long term benefits never eventuate.

I could see it going either way.
When Seven first secured the broadcast rights to Tokyo 2020 I thought it would be Bruce McAvaneyâs swansong.
