There will be less Winter Olympics this year for South African TV viewers than in previous Winter Olmpics broadcasting years as SuperSport is cutting back coverage.
SuperSport which during previous Winter Olympics used to be the saving grace for South African viewers of this other Olympics Games, is decreasing its Winter Olympics coverage compared to previous years.
When SuperSport's coverage of the Winter Olympic Games 2010 from Vancouver, Canada kicks off on 13 February it will be limited to daily highlights in the form of two 1 hour highlight shows, mainly kept on the SuperSport 2 (SS2), SuperSport 6 (SS6) and SuperSport 7 (SS7) channels.
SuperSport tells me the sports broadcaster is choc-a-bloc with Super 14 rugby, the Proteas touring and world football ''so there will be less emphasis on the Winter Olympics than previously''.
