I must say I thoroughly loved the Winter Olympics, and have every time its been on that I can recall.

But the coverage by Ch7 was a disaster. It was delayed 24 hrs (or there abouts) giving everyone else the ability to give you the results. It was on late at night where they could have put it on at any time as it was already delayed. There was an enormous number of adds. And worst of all they spent 3/4 of the coverage on ice dancing. I mean I like watching girls parce arround in not much (funny watching the guys do the same does nothing for me), but only for so long.... we dont even compete in it as still thats all they showed. Events such as Ice Hocky barely got a mention (which is far more exciting that ice dancing), even the finals was trimmed to crap and were played about 3 days late. How about some coverage of the blue ribbon events such as the downhill, again edited to nothing.... I think someone at Ch7 should take some note of their audience (there is more than ice dancing at the Winter Olympics).

I have to agree with a number of comments already posted.

I thought the coverage was a disgrace and as far as I can be certain she's a lovely person I'm afraid Johanna Griggs is not the person I want to see grinning/giggling back at me every time I flick to Ch7 to view its meagre offerings.

Is she the network's female equivalent of Ch9's Eddie McGuire or what?! How many shows does she host/appear in? And really, I'm not sure her talents as a commentator are proportional with her degree of exposure.

Just my opinion. Probably a mile off the pace.

At least the Nine network, with their sporting track record, should do the Commonwealth Games justice.

Austar/Foxtel payTV are offering around 6 dedicated channels to the C.G. for an additional $50 or so, to your monthly subscription price.

I don't get to watch too much TV, so I won't be forking out an extra 50 bucks. However, I'm hoping for a decent daily highlights package on ch 9.
