So, you’re up late the night the World Cup is due to start.
So you stay up a bit later to view the spectacle. Coverage starts at 1am.
So you turn the TV on at 1am.
Martin Devlin comes on screen and says something like…
Welcome to the coverage of the world cup. Well, these things always start with a stupid opening ceremony and that started a while back. Ah, what the heck, we’ll show you some highlights.
Um, if I am up at 1am, I want to see the whole freaking thing – not 30 min of selected highlights followed by another 20 min of farting around with ads and studio talk.
If I wanted highlights I’d watch it tomorrow.
Worse, TVNZ7 is playing the usual overnight “oh, this was interesting yesterday” reel. Why couldn’t they at least broadcast the whole thing there?
Update: Those stupid trumpets are already old, and the game hasn’t even started. Sounds like a giant bumble bee, what’s the point – drive everyone deaf?
