You are not comparing like for like, we are not talking about the Olympics, (as they to my knowledge have never been on Channel 4), we are talking about the Paralympics.
The coverage has dramatically improved since they went to Channel 4, you have events shown live for starters, and then you have a great associated programme like The Last Leg, neither of which the BBC did when they had the rights to the Paralympics.
So the Paralympics have most definitely improved since they went to Channel 4, so the point stands, about finding a programme that has made the switch and improved.
