London Olympics 2012
 
I'll start a new thread, as nobody answered my question about who's broadcasting what over here.

Just found this bit of news, but there's no date so not sure if it's still valid:



- Sky trasmetterà tutta l’Olimpiade (1600 ore) grazie anche ai suoi numerosi canali,
- la Rai trasmetterà 200 ore dell’evento a 5 cerchi ed in particolare tutte le gare “importanti” che riguardano gli azzurri (ricordiamo che a Pechino furono 800 le ore trasmesse dalla tv di Stato).
I imagine that to watch it on Sky you'll have to buy a package or summat. :confused:

Sky will broadcast everything but you pay. Rai presumably will do what it always does. Show only events with Italians. Usually if its a race such as 400m, they will show only the Italian running, so you have no idea where they come (unless of course they win, when they show the whole thing over and over again). They will show lots of gymnastics, fencing and water polo and swimming. Otherwise only Italians with good medal chances will grace the RAI screen!
