What Olympics?
I posted previously about the craptastic job of covering and tape delaying the olympics by NBC, so I won’t harp on that too much, but, where did the Olympics go this year?
I think I saw, well, curling (only thing streamed online) and the USA/Canada Hockey game. I know there was other coverage, but when you get one run of bobsleigh and then five figure skaters and then 1km of cross country, it’s hard to stay on the same channel. Whenever something came on that I didn’t want to see, I just flipped the channel, typically not returning to NBC at all. I’m not sure if this was common to other TV watchers, but the Olympics just weren’t enjoyable as they were presented in NBC’s ADD format. I know it’s hard to broadcast such a huge variety of events, but with a network like NBC that has many many channels, it can’t be that hard. How many people really watch MSNBC anyway?
