How would you like to be presented with one of these after a lifetime of hard work and dedication?
Looks like an LP I left on top of the radiator.

NOTE: for those of you not young enough to know... an LP is a record, historically made of pressed wax but more recently made of vinyl.



A radiator, in New England, was usually a steam-heated monstrosity that you learned to avoid bumping into.



And if you were a stupid child and put your record on the radiator, you were usually rewarded with this:

This is pathetic. They go to the speed skating event to report on a strange delay due to malfunctioning ice machines... except that delay happened hours ago, and the event continued on already.

To think, NBC could've made money if they'd just bothered TRYING to cover it normally without all the tape delay shit.

If you are irritated, try sending NBC a friendly little note offering tips and constructive criticism. I dropped them this line just now:

Quote:
Your decision to refuse to air almost all events live despite the fact that these olympics are in North America, is unbelievably idiotic. You have at least 3 channels to choose from!

I'm sure some people want to see these pre-packaged tape-delayed events with fluff pieces after they get home from work. Fine, show that on NBC, but for the love of God, show everything else live as it happens on the other channels you have available!

There is also no excuse whatsoever for restricting online content. You think that people who see an event online during the day wont turn on the olympics later that evening? This was one of the few bright spots during Beijing and you snuffed it out for no apparent reason. Dont you realize you have to be a dedicated fan in the first place to even want to watch events online in the day, of course they will tune in later that night, you idiots!

You fools have proven yourselves unworthy of showcasing this great event. Networks in Canada and Europe handle this so much better than you folks that its rediculous.

In closing, please do not bid for the olympics after 2012. You have failed, it is time to give another network a chance to clean up after your mess.

Good point. But wow, there's no fat, but plenty of muscle, so they can't be less that 100..

We've got at least 2 more years of this garbage. NBC also has London, but hopefully a different network will step up to take over for the winter olympics in Russia. ABC/ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNetc would be great for this.

Hell, I'll even take a flier with Fox, they couldnt do any worse.

Even CBS's coverage back in the 90's was better than this.

Here's an encouraging article, Fox and ESPN are both going to make a bid for 2014 and 2016

Looks like the past practices of NBC using their affiliates to show live coverage is not really happening this year outside of hockey.
