First real day of the Olympics and there is already controversy over Rai television coverage. The broadcaster chosen is Rai2, which for two weeks will be the “Olympic network”, in an alternation of live and deferred events, reruns, high-lights, Olympic news, comments, interviews and dedicated columns. It promised a full offer for two intense weeks but since this morning twitter is clogged with negative comments. Yesterday low ratings for the opening ceremony and for softball but it is the events scheduled for today’s Italian morning that unleash the storm.
Rai2 practically broadcast one “stew”Of all the events scheduled in the various time slots and having a ceiling of 200 hours of purchased rights cannot displace entire events on another thematic network. So it often happens that you have to jump from one discipline to another without allowing you to see everything in full.
Viewers protest against Rai’s choices
Protests on social media float: “Can someone explain to me why during the Olympics, with a thousand races in progress, both RaiSport channels broadcast the European final?” or also: “Cycling race of the Olympic Games not visible on the site because Rai does not hold the rights for streaming. Only Rai2 on TV… ”or:“ Mamma Rai is managing these Olympics very badly, I understand dicovery eurosport cocks and decks but why use only Rai2 and not RaiSport to show us (almost) everything and not a stew ”.
There are those who write: “RaiSport I can’t believe it in the crucial moment of cycling race they took off taekwondo .. “or even:” But what’s the point of showing the Olympics like this if you miss the highlight of the cycling race? ” or: “good you, show the taekwondo, we watch cycling on Austrian TV, channels 89 and 511 of digital terrestrial “and again:” Oh, nothing, the cycling test at the RaiSport Olympics just doesn’t want us to see it. On RaiDue advertising, on channel 58 a football match of weeks ago ”.
The discontent grows: “you could show us cycling until the finish, and what the c ..” and again: “The Rai he even has the courage to write Official Broadcaster, when it broadcasts half an event on a single channel. You are embarrassing ”or:“ they have the courage to complain when they are not given the rights even to their grandfather’s cup. Let them continue to do cheap fiction “and finally:” It was possible to have more coverage of the events when there were only three channels. You are unjustifiable ”.
