Australian Open 2009 television coverage bitch thread

[bus24]

"And now it's time to go to the news"

"Hey but don't worry, you'll be back for the ever awesome womens crapfest at 7:30! How lucky are you!" Jelan Dokic. Woo ****ing hoo.



Any ****ing sport it's the same. **** the news.

Put it all the news on one channel so the boring ***** can watch it there.

**** me.

 

[SunKing]

The way they treat their viewers like fools is just pathetic.

Only because the vast majority are. How else to explain the ratings for Packed To The Rafters.

 

[legend166]

Oh that's it, they've gone too far now. Cross promotion for Sunrise?

I'm personally hunting down Kerry Stokes and making him actually watch channel 7 nonstop. Won't be too long before he closes it down.

I think Sandy pulled out one, something along the lines of - Rod Laver is pack to the rafters tonight, which incidentally is a great TV show coming up after the tennis on Seven.

does anyone know why they dont show how fast the serves were after each serve? kinda like the way they do in the cricket, just a little stat under the game score or something like that, its such a big part of the game, especially the mens

 

[Cleavy]

yep the biggest disgrace ever

at least 9 will stick to a test match and go the whole way.

the same ch9 who cut to the news when the days play goes overtime? the same ch9 who don't show the first 15 mins of the 2nd inngs in the ODIs b/c ACA is too important?

The networks are all equally bad.

don't they usually do that for aces only?

 

[Amazing Bombers]

the biased coverage ends tonight when dokic loses

NO MORE AUSTRALIANS

what are you going to do about it channel 7?

cover the veterans tournament?

Hahaha! Go Dokic!

 

[Dont be a lemon]

I think this topic should be renamed the KIA, Garnier, Optus, and fluffy puff pieces tournament. It's been at least 20 minutes since any actual ongoing tennis matches were played

Yep, more rubbish being served up by 7. It reminds me of their Olympic coverage.

Instead of filling in 20 minutes worth of rubbish (rubbish that we've seen and heard before), why not show Dementieva/Cibulkova?

 

[Drummond]

Question:

Can Channel 7's coverage get any worse. As in, is it even possible?

I'm not sure it is. Could they show any more ads or pointless super slow-mo rubbish that we've seen over and over again? This is dreadful, I hate 7.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Flicked over 5 times during the cricket today - didn't see a single shot played.


Except for one "Kia hot shot" of course.

 

[Xtreme]

Ch 7's handling of the Dokic 'story' particularly the 2001 - to now promo clip. Her appearance in 2001 wasn't as bad as they've promoted it to be, she actually did get more cheers than boos by the end (granted 7 just used the opening walk on court for dramatic effect).

 

[Thrawn]

Is Todd Woodbridge really that bad?

 

[scooterb]

Is Todd Woodbridge really that bad?

Yes. I hate how he softly whispers when he is court side. There's a million yobbos behind him screaming out. Mate, you're not adding any tension!

I also hate how when they cross to the commentary box camera and Alicia Molik stares into it. It's like she's obsessed with herself. She looked pretty good in that interview with the tight jeans on. I always remembered her as a big solid unit.

 

[aaronm46]

Wow i just saw Moliks interview with Safina. wtf was that shithouse question about the off-season? who gives a **** speak about the match idiot

 

[SunKing]

I also hate how when they cross to the commentary box camera and Alicia Molik stares into it.

Yeah I noticed that as well ,she looks at the camera with that big goofy grin.
Still pretty hot though..

 

[Thrawn]

Yes. I hate how he softly whispers when he is court side. There's a million yobbos behind him screaming out. Mate, you're not adding any tension!

Does he have to?

He's paid to commentate, not to yell out like a yobbo. And you can hear him clearly. I just don't see why people dislike him.

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Woodbridge is alright, don't have a problem with him. Sandy and Dittmar on the other hand...

 

[SunKing]

I like Woody Jnr as well quality player & person.

 

[Drummond]

Woodbridge is alright, don't have a problem with him. Sandy and Dittmar on the other hand...

Oh my gosh, don't even go there. Cannot tolerate the two for much longer.

I think Dittmar is slightly better than Sandy, that's not exactly saying much though. As I said, Sandy whispers all the time, thinks reading out pointless facts means he knows something about the game, and all he's there to do is to state the obvious. It's really annoying.

 

[-VC-]

I've developed a Zen like acceptance to their incompetence.

 

[B-Bomber]

It was so sneaky. Just watching, eyes locked on the screen then all of a sudden Bruce's effeminate voice just casually informs us that we will now be going to the news. Bah!

 

[SBI]

Amazing how much Verdasco looks like Billy Ray... oh wait.

 

[r dub 19]

i am close to calling ch 7. Going into the 4th set between tsonga and ferdasco and then they stop coverage and instead show..... some f****** miley cyrus shit.
