    Its soooo sad they could not bring the full force of their excellent sports department to bear on Olympics coverage and that I will have to rely on the BBC and RTE instead :(

    Is this a joke? A non sensical one at that.

    Yeah TV3 are world leaders in sports coverage.

    Hardly worth even holding the Olympics without them.

    I do hope you're being funny? BBC coverage is better than anything else. 400 odd BBC reporters and technicians there, more people than the British team...

    To quote JP McEnroe ' You can't be serious!' BBC will have multiscreen coverage on both satellite and Freeview while RTE have at least plenty of previous experience in this department. I still remember well watching an excellent RTE breakfast highlights programme during 1984 Los Angeles Games which covered all main events that had been held in the 'wee small hours'.
