Was just thinking this, theyāve been using NEP and that big wall screen for AFL (when not able to go to a ground due to coronavirus - which is almost always atm, although were at the MCG studio on Saturday night the weekend just gone).
And as reported, Seven have a brand new set from overseas for Olympics.
Assuming commentary booths / production / offices are in BCM. So three facilities in the one city and all fairly close to each other. And TVB reported ā7mate hubā is at Sevenās Sydney studios (Eveleigh for available production space Iād imagine rather than Martin Place?) Not just hosts, but as someone posted looks like a few commentators will be there too.

SBS in South Korea aired rehearsal footage in 2008
There was only about 30 seconds shown of the dress rehearsal during the report from Paul Marshall on Seven News Sydney (and no doubt Seven News everywhere across the country) on 14/9/2000, if thatās what youāre referring to.

There is always a disclaimer at the start of every Olympic broadcast I can remember
Has there been any promotion to the wider audience that 7+ will have 40 something extra channels? I donāt think most people would realiseā¦

Itās also free and at no additional cost. OBS commentary on the 40+ streams. It was $19.95 to access premium for Rio and PyeongChang
Looks like Nigel was set to host as well

The 7mate channel set-up in Sydney must be so set-in-stone, that they canāt abandon these plans and shift to Melbourne and Iām guessing that one of the reasons for Sydney was that thereās no space left at the Melbourne facilities.
Wonder what talent Seven have in Sydney who could now host 7mate (obviously wonāt be the āstarsā - no offence to Zappone and Carmody).

They got Emma Freeman on mornings
Trent Copeland must be on Afternoons
Chris Stubbs is on prime time.
A snippet of an Opening Ceremony dress rehearsal is generally aired by rights holders to tease the event.
Iāve seen promos focusing on the 7Plus streaming offering. Not sure though whether the breadth of what the app will offer has been properly communicated

In 2008, we saw the cauldron being tested on Sunrise just before the Olympics that year began

EPGs have been updated, sessions on channels now include its specific event details and the hosts anchoring that shift.
(e.g.) 7Two, Melbourne, this Saturday:
Day 1 - Primetime Session
Primetime Session, hosted by Hamish McLachlan and Abbey Gelmi. Includes the menās and womenās swimming heats 400 m freestyle. This is the first chance of Aussie swim team to impress at Tokyo 2020.
NB/ This may not be the same channel or session in another market, but physically itās the same broadcast.
(Source: eBroadcast).
Judging by the online guides mentioning Joh Griggs and Luke Darcyās names, they will have a huge couple of weeks. They will be on air from 9:00am until 3:00pm, whereas all the other presenters are only hosting three hour shifts.

I assume thatāll be split up and theyāll come off air at say 1:30 and Matt and Eddy will come in. But again, Joh and Luke could do 6 hours a day.
Has it been clarified whether Johanna/Darce, Edwina/Matt, Hamish/Abbey will literally be hosting together, or whether theyāll tag-team?
Only the late night Andy Maher/Lisa Sthlekar hosting (which was given a show name IIRC) sounded like a group situation.

So basically just a big screen. Thatās not a set lol
Looks to be the same screen they are using elsewhere in the network with some mouldings around it,
Sevenās head of Olympics Kurt Burnette was quoted on MW last week saying they have a brand new set flown in from overseas for Tokyo 2020. Linked the story here a couple of days ago when someone else asked.
