BBC World News (TopTV 400 / DStv 400) is also bringing South African TV viewers 2012 Olympic Games coverage and is less excluded (meaning better coverage) that the other 24 hour news channels, since the BBC is an official broadcaster and can funnel coverage through its news division.
SABC1 will show men and women's soccer as well as men's and women's basketball. SABC3 will show tennis. SABC2 which has magazine shows Hello London and Good Evening London will "opt-in" to show "key moments of the Olympic Games as they happen".
Neither CNN International, ESPN, or the eNews Channel - since they don't have exclusive rights - are allowed to broadcast from inside any of the Olympic Games venues.
Meanwhile BBC World News has switched to a new red seat studio since Thursday overlooking the Olympic Park (below).
The eNews Channel has reporter Peter Stemmet filing stories on location from London.
CNN International's coverage include Piers Morgan in London to do the weekday Piers Morgan Tonight from there and the daily World Sport is also heavily covering the Olympics. CNN International also has a studio overlokking the Olympic Park.
