Seven promises to deliver 40 live streams, eight channels and 20m viewers for Tokyo 2020
Seven launched its Tokyo 2020 Olympic coverage last night, promising coverage on both Seven and 7Two as well as six additional channels for 7Plus users, up 40 live streams of every sport, and the most viewers for any Olympic and Paralympic Games in history.
The coverage starts with the launch of the Olympic Channel on 7Plus which will run 365 days a year and showcase some of the best Olympic moments and sporting events from around the world.

The 25m claim is bold
The current ABS Population Clock pegs our population at 25,423,568. and Seven’s signal doesn’t cover the entire land mass.
Buyers, get that one in writing with appropriate compensation.
Hi there,
Seven has since clarified that the anticipated 5m audience online will cross over with the 20m who will watch on TV.
I have updated the story to make this clearer.
Thanks,

So they are double counting if they are saying that there will be 5 mil cross over watches online.
I think they are under estimating the online audience prediction. But if you have to register and maybe pay to watch their online streams then the audience will be way lower.
Take a look at online audience for example to euro vision song contest this was 40 million people watching it from 225 territories. And 182 million watched it on tv broadcast.
