C7 Sport

C7 Sport was a pay-TV service in Australia, owned and run by Kerry Stokes' Seven Network. The service was carried on the Austar and Optus Vision pay-TV networks between 1995 and 2002, when it was removed in controversial circumstances. Seven is pursuing legal action over the matter.

When Optus Vision launched in 1995, it carried two sports channels: Sports Australia, and Sports AFL (which showed Australian Football League games.) These channels were run by a company called Sports Vision, in which Seven was a partner. A third channel, "Sports Australia 2", was added during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and later used to show additional live programming.
