The winter olympics are on as you probablly all know. As you probably also know, channel 9 has the free to air broadcast rights. The thing is, there is a speed skating final on in the next 15 minutes for the 500m and channel 9 just went to ellen bloody degenrate. They were advertising a 4-hour priime time review every night...I do not view the period between 9:30 pm and 1:30 am as prime time!

Mornings when events are on live, Channel 9 are showing the Today show....I would rather watch figure skating (which is absolutly rubbish) than the today show, aat least theefigure skating is the olympics!

Channel 9 are showing the olympics at times when a reasonable, working man (or woman) cannot view them!

just watch it online

obviously if ellen degeneres or the cricket rates higher then they will show it, although the ads from ch 9 leading up to the games were misleading

I don't know why One HD didn't just get the rights. They are a sports channel after all.

And they're also going to put far too many ad breaks during Top Gear this year. Just thought I'd mention that.
I'm not happy about that at all.
Yeah! that's going to suck so bad.

Yeah in order to get full coverage you need to get foxtel, then subscribe to all the winter olympics channels.


So that's expensive, I'm sure.

i hate free-to-air commercial tv.

ABC and SBS is probably the ones i'd watch
I hate that 7, 9 and 10 have such loud ads, it's ridiculous.
I have to turn it up to hear the show, then the ads come on and nearly deafen me, wtf guise.

It's like 7 and 9 are trying to outdo each other in the failstakes. Ch7's coverage of the Australian Open went to the dogs this year and now Ch9 are jumping on the "screw the viewer" bandwagon ...
