With only one day to go before the Vancouver Olympic Games begin, I sit here in Australia wondering if I will get to see any of it!
In Melbourne, Australia the ads on Channel 9 are going strong but what does it really mean. The strangest part is when they proudly state that they will show 130 hours of the Olympics. If you calculate this, it is only 10, 12 hour sessions, when the Olympics goes for 16 days! And let’s not even talk about how much of that coverage will be repeats of the exact same events the Australians are in.
I called up Foxtel to see if I could get the Olympic coverage but was told in order to get this, I would need to sign a one year agreement and pay $116/month. Are you kidding me?!
Let’s see what happens. Here we will keep updated on how things are going with the coverage as the Vancouver Olympic Games begin!
