It's just one guy sitting in a studio. <br /><br />Apparently even some of the US swimmers' parents have complained that events are not being shown live. NBC need to get with the program (as they say here) and realise that if they want TV to remain the dominant medium, they have to cater to an audience who is used to digital media, live events and real-time commentary, with interactivity that lets you choose the event YOU want to watch. As it is, they have probably sounded the death knell for network coverage of the Olympics.nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-47582196771320417732012-07-31T15:33:57.004+01:002012-07-31T15:33:57.004+01:00Sorry...should be 'and a dedicated Olympic foo...Sorry...should be 'and a dedicated Olympic football channel'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-92101348386458065052012-07-31T15:31:45.665+01:002012-07-31T15:31:45.665+01:00Do you get NBCSN channel?

Also a variety of other sport events from 4am daily. I can't stomach Costas or that Today lot but stumbled upon this and a dedicated channel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
