Put on the biggest crap over and over. Don't they have like 10-15 channels?

[mpaschal34]

The over the top announcing is also a beat down. It's not that exciting.

[Mr KLC]

Only saw female archery on Sunday morning because it was on while I was eating my continental breakfast in Chattanooga. After seeing those ugly dykes, there was no chance I was going to watch any more Olympic coverage.

[xKMACKx]

They yell at everything, especially the dude doing swimming.

[mohye1980]

Not to mention most events are not live. Annoying as penetrate.

[Russian Rocket]

And then you wonder why most Americans don't care much about Olympics

The last summer Olympics I was in US...they had 1-2 channels that show predominately only US athletes all throughout the day.

Watching Olympics in Russia right now - 6 different live channels, that show all the events for every single country.

'Murica!

[Mac4Lyfe]

The coverage sucks. Fukkin tape delayed most of the time, then they regurgitate the same shit over and over again. I use to have Bell Canada (expressvu) and their Olympic coverage rocked. They must have had like 30 different channels showing everything live. All the channels were in order so you could go from one to the next. They also had a recap channel that kept the medal count and split cams that showed multiple action. That shit was boss.

Comcast in Houston has channels all over the fukkin map. Channel 612, 645, 649, 668, etc., etc. WTF? They don't know how to use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.....

[thetrinity]

these fukkin clowns have the rights until 2032, 8 more olympics after this one

[unusialsusp5]

most have figured out that the olympics are an insipid bore and don't watch or care. it doesn't matter who wins those foolish gold medals. it can't help you in any way whatsoever. no one ever remembers who won them anyway. don't get sucked in. watch tampa bay and minnesota baseball games. far more interesting.

[l7ustin]

I guess im in the minority i like the olympics you are a bunch of cry baby bitches

[floridagolfer]

I don't mind that there are things on five or six different channels. But show the damn events live. There's no way I'm wasting my time watching things when I already know who wins and loses. This coverage is a disaster.

[unusialsusp5]

we're not crying, we just want this crap to end. hopefully forever. every four years is too much. am boycotting all nbc stations until this garbage is over. with a little luck michael phelps will sink to the bottom of the pool and no one will notice.

[stevenash]

6 commercial breaks in 36 minutes the other night, I know, I counted.
Do the math.

I thought there were FCC rules in place regarding how many minutes a broadcast can have per hour for ads?

[thetrinity]

this and the fact that they show the same events over and over are my biggest complaints

2016 you cant show things after we know what happened, this isnt 1980

tons of things to bet on all day, this forum should love the olympics

[jjgold]

It is a ratings disaster in uSA

One of worst ever

Nobody even cares

[GUMMO77]

There are plenty of channels in the U.S. of A. to watch non-American teams/people, it's just the NBC prime time coverage that is exclusively homer.

[jjgold]

A lot of the announcers are not good either which is hurting it's just became an overall disaster

[Pick'nParlays]

it really is horrid coverage. Doubt anybody else could do better but this year has been a new low, they will need to address it.

social media is killing them.

[lakerboy]

I watched the phelps race live on cbc last night. NBC had it on 20 minutes later.

[Snowball]

will get a lot better once the card thins out.

[Pick'nParlays]

good point snowball.

[brooks85]

just watch online


the idea of tape delay is annoying( I get it when you actually need it as an individual) plus their reasoning for why was even more comical implying that women don't care about the results. I was hoping all the feminists would latch on but no luck for that entertainment yet.



lol and their reason for tape delay of the opening was comical. Obviously it was for ratings but they basically said the American public was too stupid to understand what they might be seeing so we need commentators during prime-time to be able to explain it to us. Good thing, those crab/zika looking creatures and slavery ships really had me confused.

[brooks85]

the real tragedy is watching fiji lose 0-10 and USA isn't even in the games. BLM should be embarrassed along with the rest of the black American race accepting their fault in this for not playing soccer.
