Top work by Now TV. They had the final of the French Open live (and in HD), and they showed the after-match interview with (runner-up) Francesca Schiavone, and then cut away to an advert break before (winner) Li Na got to speak.  They returned in time for several minutes of waffle by the commentators before the presentation of the trophies.

Two points here:

  1. Li Na is the first Chinese winner of a grand slam tennis tournament.  Ever.
  2. The adverts were for other channels on Now TV.

Also, and I know this is not Now TV’s fault, but someone should tell the director that having the camera swooping in from far away to focus in on the server at the start of every game is just not clever.  It’s annoying.
