They NEVER show it live. I was apoplectic when the games were 150 miles up the highway from me in Vancouver, and I had to watched delayed coverage. The frickin CBC lost the rights to CTV, and our cable didn't carry CTV, only CBC. NBC botches it every time. I remember in the 90s, all they did was broadcast stupid side stories about the venues and locations of the different events, and spent very little time on the events themselves. They suck.<br /><br />But that said, it's a little harsh to want the US to never be awarded the Olympics again. It's not the US's fault that NBC are buttheads.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27283804.post-41009403019363998262012-09-02T17:51:01.177+01:002012-09-02T17:51:01.177+01:00I know Tess was VERY annoyed they didn't show ...I know Tess was VERY annoyed they didn't show the Olympics 'live' - and here was I thinking they were doing opening/closing ceremonies at 9pm to grab that 'world wide audience'.<br /><br />Channel 4 is driving me nuts with it's inappropriate ad breaks; these usually seem to take place when there's only 5 minutes left to play in the final quarter of the wheelchair basketball. I doubt the world as we know it would end if they waited to show the damn ads AFTER the game had finished, but no......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
