Hurrah, it's the Olympics, and the weather's awful so a good excuse to sit in front of the television/TVNZ's live internet streaming and watch sport. Right?
Right. But here's the rub: they spent hours earlier on showing random volleyball matches, but now the rowing's started they seem to be only interested in showing the Kiwis. I want to watch the Kiwis, but I want to watch the Brits too and if they keep flicking away for an ad break, or for highlights of the cycling where neither the Kiwis or the Brits are really featuring, I can't! It's deeply annoying. And none of the Brits are drawn in the same races as the Kiwis at this stage.
The ad breaks also did for me last night when I was watching the opening ceremony, because they kicked in once the athletes' parade had begun and we got further and further behind the live coverage. I fell asleep and missed the Kiwis entering so went to bed once I woke up to the Chinese team arriving. Watched highlights today instead.
So oh for the BBC and ad-free, continuous coverage without incessant interruptions from boring presenters.
