The Chase Oz didn’t screen on 70 in Sydney at 5.30 last night – Olympic coverage continued as Ms Fox paddled her heart out. And rightfully so.
How did The Chase rate so high when it wasn’t even shown here in Brisbane? Am I missing something?
I’m in Brisbane and it was on here at 5.30pm
Back in my day, opposition networks effectively conceded defeat whilst the Olympics were on, and showed b-grade fare until the games had ended, especially during the first week with the swimming. It’s a waste of money and resources to try and ‘compete’ with the big gun.
You would except that for the amount of money 7 paid for the rights. Assuming 7 would be losing money on this?????
I have been watching the 7+ app which reduces the hassle waiting for Olympic events, 7+ have done a reasonable job for sports fans especially those who follow other countries. Apart from the sometimes ridiculous advertising imposts which play even if you end up watching a blank screen it’s thumbs up from me.
Impressive again for 7 network but I wonder what the ratings for 6-12am primetime would be if the swimming finals were on during this time ☺️.
