Why didn't they last night for example show the Softball on one & the Boomers on another ?
Got the technology, and yet they refuse to use it...

My anger at the coverage early in the games led me to being supplied an email address for C7 in Sydney through my contacts so I "loaded up" and gave it to them both barrels. As I mentioned on another thread I got a phone call in response to my email from a very Senior C7 Programming person who proceded to try and debate my complaints. I sent a further 2 emails (one from my work email address) by the end of the first week but both bounced back. I then found out through my contacts that I was "blocked" in sending the emails as apparently were many others who also had access to certain C7 email addresses. I then resorted to ringing up the complaints number continually out of sheer anger and frustration at their pathetic coverage. Whilst it didn't much matter what I or others complaned about it at least I got it off my chest!
I found out last night that C7 were overwhelmed (and shocked!) with the volume of complaints they received and that a number of temp staff drafted in to "man" the feedback call lines all got up and quit by the end of week one. However in an interstate debrief over the record number of complaints about the coverage, a number of Senior C7 personnel who also voiced their support re the complaints were told that the Australian sporting public are "Morons" and have no feel for a dynamic modern fluid world class sporting broadcast that C7 provided. Doesn't that sum up the ignorance and arrogance of the C7 Execs and Management and Squawk summed it up correctly - contempt and shocking!

Channel 9 - 1 free to air "normal" coverage plus addtional coverage of different events live and replays on 3 digital channels.
Foxtel - 8 different channels again televising completely different events over 24 hours. My mail is that we will get all team sport games / matches regardless of the countries playing in full live or as near to as possible given the schedules across the different sports plus full replays for those who can't watch live. This will obviously be offered at a price as an additional package.
If this does turn out to be the level of coverage on offer (much as the rest of the world got this time around) then we should ensure that C7 is never allowed near major sporting events again!
