~~Weak keep~~: The program is the primetime centrepiece (flagship show) of Olympic programming in Australia on the Seven Network, so it is notable, but without references it obviously can't remain. I would note too this user has a history of creating articles without sources (The Love Game (game show), Everyday Health (Australian TV series), The Music Shop (TV series) as examples) and despite talk page notices, templates, edit summary points, etc the user does not appear willing to engage or abide by Wikipedia policies. -- Whats new?^(talk) 01:04, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ Going by the description this is basically a primetime repackaging of Games event highlights for Aussies that are currently working during Rio/Americas primetime. The title says this obviously won't be seen after August 22 there, and it's basically just Seven's coverage summarized for primetime viewers otherwise.

- @Mrschimpf: In fairness, they do more than just highlights: interviews, commentary, behind-the-scenes, etc. -- Whats new?^(talk) 03:13, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment It's not much different from what NBC and CBC does then; but looking at it further, I'm going to change my !vote and switch to a redirect to Olympics on Seven as a plausible redirect. Nate • (chatter) 04:50, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Redirect: A redirect to that article does make sense, I change my vote also. -- Whats new?^(talk) 05:02, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect To Olympics on Seven. As others have said, it's not notable on its own but it's a plausible search term. Smartyllama (talk) 17:43, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
