The coverage of these Olympics has been good and I know that we cannot do without sponors, but Channel 7 with all their advertisements are so annoying, especially when you come back after adds to find points have been scored or goals have been scored. It should be an uninterupted telecast! Lets have less advertisements and more uninterupted coverage. Advertisements could be at the beginning and end of telecasts. Most of theadvertisements are so annoying; I would not bank with the Commonwealth Bank if my life depended on it and the guy who says "we are A u s t r a l i a n s" I would glady hit on the head with his remote control. 22nd August.

Does anyone know anyone on the inside who might be able to get the footage without the networks logo on the final part of the video with the stadium in it? Thanks All Man, fantastic, very nice this year!

If so, if anyone knows what it's called, please post it. It has been playing recurrently throughout the games coverage.

The London Olypics coverage will have 6 posh women sporting union jack waistcoasts, bowler hats, playing violins. Cut to gratuitous shots of double decker busses and the London eye. Slow motion shots of drinking tea and croquet. done. Not surprised, it looks like every other Olympics opener ever done in Australia.

I do agree, though; it may look slick but it trails off in the end. I'm still awe-inspired by the BBC's (which makes me wonder about what they'll do come 2012). There's a different flavor to this Olympics' coverage, isn't it? All that oriental flavor. Provides some difference. Maybe by 2012 it'll be back to... I dunno. Conventional? Ornsack,

There’s a different flavor to this Olympics’ coverage, isn’t it? All that oriental flavor. Provides some difference. Maybe by 2012 it’ll be back to… I dunno. Conventional?

And that parquet floor looks cheap ;-). A question, has Seven lost the licence to Nine? I can't wait for the opening ceremony, it will be odd as it begins at 1pm here in the UK.
