    1. With streaming available via tablets, iPhones, etc., with a dedicated ABC NewsRadio service, and other means, paying for the Olympics for ABC radio seems a waste of $1M that could be directed to Olympics coverage elsewhere. One of the arguments put forward by ABC is that the Games product is available elsewhere, such as the Seven Network, pay TV and commercial radio. Seems Seven would not lower their $1M asking price.
