Australian Open 2009 television coverage bitch thread

[Power King]

I saw Bradtke's part and couldn't watch any more.

I can't imagine courier and co doing something similar. At least I hope they don't. Would rather just see a package lasting a few minutes with a background commentator discussing the history of the nadal-federer rivalry, with visual highlights.

well i got the end of the nadal verdasco match live on espen here in brissie. its typical of seven and their shotty coverage of all sports. they should be banned from covering all sports for life. they deserve it

I hate how Molik And Woodbridge feel the need to talk in depth after every single point. If you don't have anything good to say, keep your yap shut.

I also hate how Austin keeps telling us how the players will be feeling at that particular moment. As if she would know.

Two time U.S Open winner! while its true Austin is soft compared to the likes of Mary Carillo, Pam Shriver, John McEnroe or Jim Courier but Austin knows a lot more about tennis than the likes of Sandy.

Channel 7 are too obsessed with stating the obvious and promoting themselves.

Molik needs some media training for her Interview style is flat like when she interviewed Safina and asked the rather pathetic question of "do you have a message for Zvoneava"

Was she hoping for a big mean quote.

In general the way Channel 7 covers the Aussie open is poor and by the way regardless of five years time I don't give a shit about the silly housewives.

And who was the bloke who conducted many of the post match interviews, he was just painful.

Men's final on a 65 minute delay in WA.

Border Patrol and Seven News are immovable objects

No words can describe the sheer horror of what I'm witnessing. "The Crazy Bunch".

 

[Drummond]

The single most cringeworthy thing I have ever seen.

The whole thing was horrible, especially that Crazy Bunch thing. Did they honestly think it would be...funny/entertaining?

For those unable to see it, imagine The Brady Bunch with Johanna Griggs as Carol Brady and three womens players as the girls. That's as far as I got before I turned the TV off.

I thought it couldn't possibly get worse. I stand corrected.

Oh the humanity.

7 are the dumbest network by miles

Am I the only one who'd rather gabriela cilmi close her mouth, sit down and face the wall in the corner, rather than listen to her perform?

I actually flicked over to The Bigger Loser, that's how cringeworthy that little segment was...
