    NBC's Olympic Coverage is a joke

    What's the fukin point if we already know the outcomes

    Show the damn thing live

    I am sure we can do without the Today Show or the judge shows or garbage syndicated talk shows or the left leaning propaganda NBC Nightly News for 2 weeks. And we can catch local news on other channels.

    Really angry that I will know the outcome of the Women's Team Gymnastics tomorrow before its even aired. That's my favorite event

    I hate the way NBC handles it. They only care about primetime, so they show garbage during the day and show the interesting stuff on tape delay during primetime.

    The olympics are fine, but yes NBC coverage is beyond lame. This afternoon there were 4 swimming finals back to back. Instead of showing these live, NBC is showing on their 3 channels, two prelim vollyball matches and a prelim field hockey game.
    And I'm watching the 4 swim final results via the computer.

    what's the 5?

    People want to see the events live and NBC still won't do it. They're afraid if people see it in the afternoon they won't watch it at night, but the people are in different groups. For the most part, the people watching in the afternoon wouldn't be interested in watching at night on tape delay.
