London 2012

Hi, has anyone seen anything about which station has the rights to televise the Olympics this year? Just planning ahead!

According to the newsletter that came out with the Sky bill the other day, they will have 4 or so dedicated channels especially for Olympics coverage, so I suspect the other channels will only have delayed coverage or when a NZ'er is up for a medal etc.
But I could have read it completely wrong:rolleyes:

nice one, we get our bills via email and i never pay them too much attention, other than to check that we haven't been overcharged again!

I'm not happy with this Olympics thing, it's pushed my Doctor Who back till end of year. "We are not amused!!!"

Why not download it from Quickflix instead: http://www.quickflix.co.nz/

Wow - seems like Prime and Sky will be the only options - this is the first time I've really missed the BBC (only been in NZ 18 months).

This might be the shove I needed to shell out for Sky.

nah, the Olympics have delayed this years UK release, usually it'd be showing there now but this year it's delayed till "fall" (UK)
