Canadians - Do you like CBC?

Question

To Canadians (and those of you whom are watching CBC coverage of the olympics) - are you satisfied with the Olympic coverage? The Commentators, availability and 'live'ness?

I hear loads of people complain about the American and Aussie equivalents, but I have to say I've been fairly pleased with Canada's coverage. They seem to try to give lots of air time to a variety of sports, try to cover a large variety of athletes, are tasteful and respectful.

The only real complaint I've heard is that there is an awful lot of American footage. I understand that, as it seems the last couple times I've tuned in it's on American volleyball.

Answer 1

Not enough weightlifting.  SRC seems to have more of everything.

Answer 2

no offence, CBC sucks *** over the years and still sucks ***. I say this because I've seen a lot better olympic coverage at china. There's like 12 channels (out of basic channels you get for free) all broadcasting live olympic matches 24/7.

Answer 3

I live in Washington State and get both NBC and CBC. NBC's commentators pretty much are biased and suck. But watching CBC is really refreshing. Also, I enjoy the Olympics more when the commentators aren't talking every single second.

Answer 4

CBC has a lot of good coverage as they usually do, sometimes i wish the commentators were a little more supportive though,
