The coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics by Channel 7 was unbelievably poor, and this was especially painful when they advertised the Australian men’s basketball team playing, and then decided at halftime to cut from it to go to the equestrian.
Now, I’m not disrespecting the sport at all.
It’s just that if I knew they were going to cut the basketball and have me waiting an hour to see the final parts of the fourth quarter, then I would have done something more productive than wait around and watch an hour of the equestrian.
Channel 7 consistently made the wrong choices over the length of the Games. This was just another in a long, long line of them.
