    Badminton Olympic television coverage

    SBS have advertised their 2004 Athens Olympic coverage, and badminton will be televised!
    I would advise and appreciate if Australian members could contact SBS to express their interest in coverage, applauding SBS for
    televising badminton.

    I would also like Australian members and badminton enthusiasm to follow up after Olympics coverage period to ensure SBS is aware of the interest in badminton
    and continue supporting badminton coverage.

    I read that as 11.15 pm to 1.15 am, ie two hours of badminton, wohoo!

    I agree that people should write in and say that they want to see more badminton. No Men's singles final :(

    Okay - so instead of complaining - do something constructive - E-mail, mial or phone them and show that people want to watch Badminton on TV!

    Prove to them there is an audience, after all they are a TV station, and factor on ratings etc.
