Hi, does anyone know the name/s of the restauranteurs/restaurant that appeared on Good Morning Deli 9/10/10 ?
David – thanks for this post – and keeping the link on the home page. Have TEN released to you an actual schedule of sports? And if so, are you permitted to publish it? Case in point – I was hoping to see the netball tonight (live) – and all TEN are showing is delayed swimming. I have a better score and commentary on ABC Radio (God bless my 8 cents a day). Disappointing when you consider TEN are such good promoters of the ANZ Championship.
TEN releases a daily list of highlights that are being held but it’s not something I plan on running.
Loved the Foxtel coverage for day 1,looked the odd time on Channel 10 they either had ads on or were showing sports on delay,apart from the swimming.No surprise
Looks like India’s answer to preventing any terrorist act is just keep all spectators out,no people no problem.
Couldn’t help notice the empty venues. Gave me a good laugh. The Comm Games are an embarrassing colonial relic and should be put out to pasture. Australia would be better off participating in the Asian Games.
does that mean that Bill Woods etc are not in Delhi? and that the unpopular sports are commentated from Melbourne?
@ Rob D. Sadly the golf will actually be all over by the time One show it. But at least we get to watch exactly the same coverage on two channels at once instead of another live sport.
Can someone explain why Foxtel are charging $85 for the games, or get it included with the sports package for $16?
Ten’s website guide has now been updated so ONE leaves Delhi coverage at Midnight to join Ryder Cup singles from midnight to 6am (AEDST)
In the year 2010 is it really appropriate to remove 2 weeks of primte time regular programming for sport? IMO no way jose.
Why the heck do we have One if not for chucking specialty events like this on?
2 weeks without Neighbours for crying out loud – what will I do!?
With very few at the Swimming, nobody at the Netball these Com. Games Telecasts are definitely lacking in atmosphere. They displaced 300,000 to build these stadiums why don’t they let a few thousand in for free. Even the cricket. unbelievably a non Comm. Games sport , is sparsley attended. All this with a population of over a billion. Surely the money would have been better spent on houses for the poor rather than marble bathrooms for the over pampered athletes.
Games Project last night was quite a snooze. Andrew R is no host compared to Charlie P.
@ Matt,
Also wanted to find out if the Ryder Cup will be on tonight? It has to be!
Does anyone know if the tennis will be showed on foxtel or network ten?
CK – I, also, have been having trouble finding a proper guide with all the times on. 😛
Have to say that, no, I did not find one! What I did find though, is on the official Delhi Commonwealth Games site there is a schedule of All events and the time it happens in Delhi.
I’ll convert that to AEST and take a guess as to what ch10 will show, but at least it will give me an idea of the when. 🙂
@ Johnson – is that live broadcast of the Ryder Cup on One tonight confirmed?
I clicked on this page with the intention of reading it, but I couldn’t conjure enough interest to care.. so I just scrolled down 🙂
I stayed up last night watching the Games Project, which was awful! The usual program is ten times better… (maybe the news was so boring, since all it was, was about the Comm games).
I was up all the way til 12, but then didn’t have the energy to stay up for the Opening Ceremony, so I headed off to bed…
It’s good for ONE to replay the opening ceremony because I heard on radio this morning it was spectacular. Plus ONE will broadcast the final day of Ryder Cup golf live from Wales tonight in place of Commonwealth Games (the golf has been affected by rain since it started on Friday).
thanks for this comprehensive report – was trying to find this information every where.
Does any one know where to get a more detailed event schedule e.g. times of all the swimming events, netball matches etc? cheers
