Agreed. If you are going to say you will show something, bloody well do it channel 7!

hear hear. At least 3 times I watched the 4 x 200 relay last night. "We'll head back to the basketball after the break..." yeah right. After the break AND a replay of the 4x 200!!
I get it, we're a nation that looooves it's swimming, and we're getting medals in "the cube". Steph Rice has done just brilliantly. but please! I looked forward to watching the b/ball game last night, only to fall asleep watching the relay AGAIN so switched to good old SBS.
Sorry Channel 7, I realise you have to cover a range of sports, but give a fair go to the others. It just seems to be coverage of the world swimming champs rather than the Olympics!

Channel 7 should be bar from giving false advertising about the coverage of the USA vs Greece basketball last night!They show less than 10 minutes of the whole game!!It was just ridiculous,if you want to show the game, show the full game like SBS did or don't show it at all because you are frustating any basketball fans and wasting their time staying up to watch the game.It was all commercial and repeating the medal moments of the swimming?what's the deal with that!aren't the channel meant to capture as much live events as possible?Instead of repeating the same stuff about 60 trillion times?You have 24 days to cover any olympics events so leave the memories to show later on your today tonight show when the olympics is over!i'm sure when stephanie rice gets back to australia, she will show up in current affair or today tonight show then you can relive those moments later but now please focus on your games because you got less than 24 days to cover it!Be fair to your audience no matter what sport it is and don't give any false advertising and just show highlights of the basketball games.I know Australia is not keen on basketball,but at least show some full game like SBS did!!Shameful channel 7!!
