FOX Sucks, & NBC Sucks!?

Question

Yup, just sitting their watching Oakland and Tennessee Football game yesterday. Then the announcers said, "Phelps won his 7th gold by 0.01 of second!"

Seriously, what the **** they just forget about us on the West?

I didn't even want to watch the the games on today (there were like 4 of them!" in fear of Phelps run for the 8th being spoiled.

NBC, for still having the "LIVE" thing in the corner, they could at least put "previously recorded" or something, instead of trying to trick us into thinking we are watching something live.

Answer 1

I agree. I live in Nevada, and I feel like an afterthought.  Everything's already happened by the time we see it.  I won't even get on the internet until late at night.   I don't want to know the results til I watch it.

Answer 2

NBC should be banned from ever having the right to broadcast the Olympics in the US again.

They didn't show the one race that IS the Olympics, the men's 100 meters, on the west coast until 12 hours after it happened. In fact I doubt they showed it live anywhere. I sort of understand them doing that prime-time thing on weekdays, but on Saturday? Sports are shown all day saturday, morning till night. NBC was showing taped stuff while live things were happening all day, and didn't show the 100 until midnight on the west coast. I had to stay off line, and the 6 o'clock news had to warn people to look away when they posted the result, so I could see the race as it happened, easily one of the best 100's ever.

I don't think ABC has ever failed to show the 100 meters live. That's just a cardinal rule of the Olympics. It's a moment the world watches live, not tapes of later. What the h**l was NBC thinking...

I'm seriously thinking of trying to organize a post-olympic, one-month boycott of all nbc television. As soon as the games end nbc must be punished. And they must never, ever be allowed exclusive broadcast rights again.

To say nbc should be ashamed is a huge understatement, they should be on their knees begging the public's forgiveness, especially the pacific time zone.

As for Adam: they don't show anything live in the pacific time zone, including what you watched at 10pm eastern. That's 7pm for us, and they don't show anything till 8, and by then it's all tapes. Today at 7pm, while the swimming was starting, NBC showed Everybody Loves Raymond. Inexcusable.

After midnight on the west coast, they just repeat the prime time tapes.

As for the online feeds, they don't post feeds for any of the sports they show on TV. You can watch fencing live, but not track.

<edit> also. There is a link on nbc.com (regular, not nbcolympics.com) where you can send them feedback e-mail. If enough of us flood them with e-mails, they may just get their act together before the whole thing is over

Answer 3

If you want to watch it live, stay up till 1-2pm.  China is on the other side of the world.  I live on the east coast and saw all his races live at 10pm.  I fail to see your argument.

China is 12 hours ahead of the East Coast time, 16 for west coast.  You have to stay up late to see what's going on.  What are you guys whining about?

Answer 4
