Given he had the 'big events' at the Olympics, I've got a bad feeling Basil Zempilas is taking over Dennis Cometi's job next season...

so do I what a joke 7 areGiven he had the 'big events' at the Olympics, I've got a bad feeling Basil Zempilas is taking over Dennis Cometi's job next season...
Im.trying to watch the closing ceremony but this commentary is really bad. It's all over the place.
Did Bruce leave Brazil?
If there is a god that will surely not happen.Given he had the 'big events' at the Olympics, I've got a bad feeling Basil Zempilas is taking over Dennis Cometi's job next season...
I only caught this once, is this a social media show on what's going on in Rio?I hope Buzz from Brazil is an ongoing series
Let's start a change.org petition.If there is a god that will surely not happen.
Any chance for SBS to get next games?
I wish the ABC would have full radio and tv rights..their commentary in the radio sphere was excellent once again.
I could live with Peter Walsh doing basketball. Whateley calling swimming was brilliant, but, he would even better with the athletics. They might even coax Tim Lane to come back.
I would not be surprised if seven got death threats and snipers at the window. This coverage is/was woeful, made me want to self destruct. Show me sports that actually represent the Olympics, and not the same crap i see every weekend. Team sports(most) need to be cut.
And they banned anyone from saying Olympic Games. Get stuffed.
Please do it. Ill gladly sign and provide links to other forums like OCAU and WP.Let's start a change.org petition.
Impact upon other broadcasters
The fact that Seven, a free-to-air broadcaster, has created a subscription service as part of its portfolio raises many questions.
Andrew Maiden, chief executive of the subscription television industry body ASTRA, said:
This development proves the absurdity of a rule that bans subscription TV from buying the Olympics but allows so-called free-to-air networks to charge Australians to watch.
Adding that:
Seven has proven for the world to see that the anti-siphoning schemecannot continue to exist in an online world. The exploitation of this loophole is only possible because the mechanism was drafted 20 years ago, before the internet was a twinkle in the regulator’s eye.
Seven is reported to have paid between A$150 million and A$170 million for the Olympic rights, far less than the recent AFL rights (A$2.508 billion over six years). And only a small sum when compared with NBC’s US$7.75 billion Olympic media rights contract for the games through to 2032.
I really hope foxtel buy the rights next year. In 2012 they had I think 13 channels, every event was on these clowns have no idea.
Seven already have the rights to 2020. Unless they onsell or do a deal, it'll be there same.
