The Olympics are out of the blocks and Seven is enjoying massive audiences that are breaking recent records.
On Friday Seven drew a 56.1% share. On Sunday it went even high to 59.2%. Thank you, lockdown?
7plus has recorded the biggest day of live streaming in Australian television history.
An extraordinary 238.7 million minutes were streamed on 7plus on Saturday, shattering the previous record of 86 million for the State of Origin rugby league match on 14 July this year.
The 7plus total comprised 207.9 million live streamed minutes and 30.8 million video-on-demand minutes. As a result, 7plus captured a record-setting 93.5% share of commercial free-to-air live streaming, and an 80.9% share of total minutes (live plus VOD).
Friday’s Opening Ceremony is also the biggest audience so far in 2021 at a huge 2.12m metro viewers.

What a change from not many years ago when we were at the whim of the TV director(s).
But it is a terribly designed interface, difficult to navigate and very awkward trying to work out the broadcast schedule.
However, the end result is as Laurie says, very good.
Must admit 7+ looks good in HD the only problem I have is the constant ads when you change channels only to find the channel has not started or not having the correct content on it!
