@Maev….Sydney – yeah I assumes the Olympics closing would be early and UB late, so if you didn’t get to see it this morning you’d see it tonight but now it looks like a late night. Would have been better off recording it this morning them watching it when you want.
I saw most of it live but will have to catch the last hour later at 11-12pm is getting a bit late.
Elbow!!!!
Is Danny Boyle / Underworld involved in this?
I will be watching the replay….6AM a tad early for me…
Just saw that Adele will also be on that list…
@ Craig…you should read what David wrote…again…and a little more carefully.
9:30 seams late for UB Badness, unless it’s really bad this series
not that it will start at 9:30, I’m betting UB will probably start closer to 10pm unless Nine reduces the ads or cuts so bits if it runs over time.
@Sunny Well because many of us dont have a choice but to stay with Nine to watch our Olympians compete, and I dont see where you found it excellent, it has not been at all
Looking forward to the Closing Ceremony and like the Opening, will be recording the Channel 9/GEM version.
Can’t wait for this. Apart from all the promos for nine’s new shows, the Olympic telecast has been excellent. Notice that the ratings are still strong and haven’t fallen away as many predicted in their comments to TV tonight.
Darn typos. Thanks.
2026!? Jeez. That’s a while away!
I heard that Pink Floyd were also rumoured to be playing.
It’s pathetic that Foxtel aren’t allowed to show it live.
I think i’ll wait until Foxtel’s broadcast and record that to watch.
Rio is 2016.
Do you mean 2016 in rio not 2026? Fourteen years is a long wait for more Olympics.
