NBC Ruins the Olympics... And Loses Loads of Cash Doing It
I'm so happy the Olympics are almost over. I love the winter olympics, but NBC's coverage has been almost unwatchable. First, it is nearly impossible to find the broadcast time an channel of the event you want to watch -- unless you want to watch figure skating. In which case, there is no hope for you. Second, it feels like for every twenty broadcast minutes, you see about 4 minutes of actual competition. I don't have time for that. If you are going to tape delay something, edit it up nice and tight so I can see see the whole competition in thirty minutes. If you do that, I will gladly watch all your commercials. I won't sit through Bob Costas or some lame slice-of-life piece. And I won't dvr 15 hours a day just to fast forward ninety percent of it. Hopefully, NBC runs out of cash soon, so ABC/ESPN can get the Olympics some time in the future.
