Brekkie Boy Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Channel 10/1 Australia and no add breaks so far great stuff there was only 1 short add break at the Opening Ceremony. One of the key advantages of such events taking place overnight. It seems CBC are really screwing it up in Canada, though to be fair there haven't really been any points where they can take a break without cutting bits out - unlike the opening which had two or three VT segments which could easily be dropped.
