Thumbs down Channel 9's Vancouver Winter Olympics coverage

I am very disppointed with the breadth of the content in Channel 9's coverage of the Winter Olympics. We aork during the day so ar constrrained in our viewing to the highlights shown in the evening and, tonight the coverage from 7:30 onwards. Thus these comments are related to the coverage in those time slots.

The inclusion of interviews with the sports people and ex- sports people may be interesting but the balance with the acrtual sport coverage is skewed away from the sports themselves. The Michael Phelps interview - why?

The coverage is largely of Australians, there are other countries competing one can only assume, or highlights of the last run of the Gold medalist. The graphics of vancouver and Whistler though interesting, again, are shown at the expense of the sport.

Frankly, the lack of actual sport coverage during the screening of the winter Olympics means I am too bored to watch any of it.

What are you thinking of the Winter sports fans ?
