BBC and Channel 9 Face Olympic Coverage Backlash

Channel Nine is facing scrutiny for using an incorrect version of the Olympic rings logo on its 9Now app, potentially violating International Olympic Committee (IOC) guidelines. The network also frustrated Australian viewers by opting to broadcast replays instead of the live Nadal vs. Djokovic match during the Paris Olympics. Meanwhile, the BBC received backlash for its perceived overemphasis on Adam Peaty during Olympic coverage, causing some viewers to switch to Eurosport. Clare Balding criticized England's footballers for removing their runners-up medals too soon, contrasting their demeanor with that of silver medalist Adam Peaty. Additionally, Tim Bailey criticized Channel Nine's decision to have cricket legend Mark Taylor commentate on diving, calling it disrespectful to the athletes involved.
