The 2016 Australian Open gets underway today.

DATES: January 18 – 31, 2016
VENUE: Melbourne Park
HOSTS: Joh Griggs, Todd Woodbridge, Hamish McLachlan, Jim Wilson, Basil Zempilas, Peter Donegan, Jason Richardson and Dave Culbert
COMMENTATORS: Bruce McAvaney, Jim Courier, Lleyton Hewitt, Todd Woodbridge, John Newcombe, Sam Smith, John Fitzgerald, Alicia Molik, Rennae Stubbs, Henri Leconte, Peter Donegan, Roger Rasheed, Geoff Masters, Dave Culbert 
REPORTERS: Rachael Finch, Giaan Rooney, Neil Kearney, Nathan Templeton.

Meanwhile four-time Grand Slam winner Kim Clijsters is also joining Seven’s tennis commentary team.

“I’ve watched the Channel 7 broadcast since I first came to Australia as a teenager. It will certainly be a thrill to work alongside Bruce McAvaney and the team,” she said.

“I have done some guest spots on several occasions but this will be a different role of analysing. Having had so much playing experience on Rod Laver Arena, I can’t wait to give the viewers some of that intimate knowledge and experience.”

  1. I have said that we should just move to HD for primary channels not jus simulcasting. Hopefully when HD happens it will be one where people can access it. I dont have racing.com not that i would watch it or the new Nine HD, cause my tuner/HD settop box cant get the maximum HD signal. Personally HD is not that important when it comes to sport. I just wonder how many people will actually buy a new HD settop box or TV or Tuner to be able to watch it when it all goes full HD. I think there should be a reduction of channels from 3 to 2 both in HD. the other channels can be online only. ie 11, 7two and Go!.

  2. I have spent some time in the US over the break and they have so many full HD channels…It is like every channel press of the remote…and bang…another channel in glorious HD. All FTA channels in HD. We are so far behind in this country when it comes to media. We adapt to new consumer technology so fast fast in Australia….but Labour and the Abbot government have let us down in this area with their out of date HD broadcast policies. Seven will be going to HD for AFL season apparently with no word from TEN. A HD channel was first broadcast in Australia in 2007 (Ten HD) and seven years later we are still waiting for all Primary channels to go HD. Just crazy it as taken so long.

  4. Yep, it would have been better to use Freeview Plus. I just wonder how many people are using the freeview plus platform. This would have increased uptake.

  5. No hybird tv coverage this year. I mean I guess they have the 7tennis app on mobile devices but it’s kinda disappointing that they are not embracing the hbbtv technology.

  6. Er … yeah … what happened to Seven getting the main channel into HD (plus simulcast in SD a la Nine presumably) in time for the Australian Open? Wasn’t that announced or was it just rumour?
