Discuss Seven's Sports Broadcasting here

It's a pity Seven couldn't get the national anthem right at the opening of Bathurst today.

Instead leaving the mics off for the two singers until half way through the anthem.

Another Bathurst telecast has come & gone and once again,the viewer was subjected to hour upon hour of Mark Skaife updates.
The Tander/davison car did'nt win today.It just finished 3 cars ahead of the Murphy/Skaife car.
Honestly,Matthew White is a paid-up member of the Mark Skaife fan club.The constant updates of what he's wearing,eating,when he's going to the toilet etc is just pathetic.
I might be Ford through and through but I respect and admire what Mark Skaife has achieved in his motorsport career and I find his commentary to be insightful and interesting.But Matty White has to accept that other drivers are out on the track as well.
Congrats to HRT on their win today.

Is that Zara Phillips with Bruce McAvaney? I just tuned in.

too much horses. i want to see more of the celebrities.

maybe in the future they can have double coverage. general coverage on 7 that show fasion, celebs, slow motion montages and when it comes to the horses only show the actual races. and then over on 7two have the serious business about the horses, racing conditions and odds for people that are interested in all that.

You get that sometimes, being cup day and all

[Leostar]

Haha. The Melbourne Cup is all about the horses. The celebs are just bonuses.

You'd be in the minority there Jerome. It'd be a sad day when the Melbourne Cup gets dumbed down to that point.

Still, its just horses running around, hardly something that desperately needs to be protected for going 'downmarket'.

How old is Seven's tennis package? Although there's nothing too wrong with it, a change for changes sake couldn't hurt. The box bracket [ ] elements have been around for yonks.

Yeah they are getting pretty old now, my guess they've been around for about 5 or 6 years.

I was thinking the same thing earlier this week. They've been around for at least six or seven years.

[EuroKick]

Introduced in 2003. They are very old.

[The Sifon]

Same with the Seven Sport production ender. 2004?

[abesty]

Do you think they will ever update them? Maybe this will be the last year of the current graphics, but knowing seven, especially the news change takes a long time to occur these days.

To tell you the truth, I don't see any need for Seven to change their 7 Sport production ender. It's held up really well and they could just let it run for years to come.

Here's Seven's Tennis opener in 2002 and 1992.

2002

All they really need is a colour change. The orange all over is getting old.

Was there any particular reason why the final of the Brisbane International wasn't live tonight? I had it on while browsing only to stumble upon the result and ruin the rest of my viewing

That's what I thought that although the Brisbane night sessions were shown on delay they could have at least shown the final live, then it wouldn't have gone so late over time past midnight. But it seems that Brisbane and Sydney arnt considered important enough and "ratings material" compared to Australian Open (Melbourne).
