Dear Channel 7
You seem to have been making quite a hullabaloo about your Australian Open coverage starting in the evenings at 7pm. Here in Queensland for years we have put up with you broadcasting everything an hour later than it has actually happened in Melbourne yet still pretending it is “live”. Have you never heard of the internet. Most nights I would just follow the score on there so I could go to bed at a decent hour.
So I was a little bit excited to think you might actually broadcast tennis being played from 7. What is less interesting is that the game didn’t start until 7:30 anyway and we had endure gabbling commentary about injuries, the Ozzy’s chances against Nadal blah blah blah for half an hour. What I’m really trying to say is please just show us the tennis and forget about the crap. Oh, and make note, every time you take an ad break to broadcast something “starting in February” I’m changing the channel.
Kind Regards
Wendy
Totally agree with what you said. Am already in a commitment of not watching Channel 7 whenever they're not showing tennis. I don't deserve to be treated with this crap thing Channel 7 is providing us.
Thanks for the support Anonymous! United we stand!!
Yes, people's power! Come on!
I totally agree. Channel 7 treat us like idiots as if we don't know the match is delayed. Aren't their advertisements & comments saying 'live' false advertising or in breach of some advertising laws. People overseas can even watch it live but people in Qld have to wait for Channel 7 to show it on an hour delay. In today's easy access to information that is ridiculous.
That's a good question actually. Surely we could cope with watching the news an hour earlier so we could watch the tennis live in the truer sense of the word.
