By the time the main channel joins the Olympics coverage, it won’t be Ally and James guiding through curling and ice hockey prelims, and then by midnight, etc… But that’s what the viewers will see on their EPG.

It’s going to mislead the viewer, the ratings, or might as well be both. That’s the precedent Nine is setting.
