USA vs China Basketball game Live for Pacific coast?

Question

According to tvguide.com and nbc.com, the USA vs China bball game will be aired at 10:15 AM Pacific time. However, the game really starts at 10:15 Eastern, or 7:15 AM Pacific. Does this mean they are not airing it live on the west coast? (I live in the Bay Area near S.F.) If they aren't airing it live on NBC then that is absolutely disappointing and outrageous. I've been looking forward to this game.

Answer 1

It's being broadcast live on the internet, nbcolympics.com.  Learn to check a schedule people.

Answer 2

Who cares!  Just watch at 10:15 pacific time and don't look at the scores online. It'll be a great game to watch regardless.

Answer 3

if it is saying it will air at 10:15 pacific time then yeah it's going to be a tape delay, but according to this link those people say 7:15 so that would mean it's live

your link looks more accurate then what these people say

if it's a tape delay that sucks for the west coast, but the west coast is always getting tape delays on events so it's nothing new

Answer 4

That online thing has a virus.  Don't click it people...

Answer 9

Not live.  

Answer 10

No because its going to be recorded since since china is half way around the world & in a different time zone so it will air on that specific tome but will say that its been previously recorded since its time zone is diffrerent than usa's time zone.

Answer 11

Completely agree - this is awful.  Everyone has been calling this perhaps the MOST WATCHED BASKETBALL GAME IN HISTORY, and it won't be live on the West Coast??  Kobe's market, etc.??  Horrible decision.

If any of you live in Seattle - it is on live on CBUT.  God bless Canada... and my Slingbox.

(also, NBC is not broadcasting this live online either whoever answered that - it doesn't come up)

Answer 12

NBC ABSOLUTELY SUCKS at their Olympics coverage.  I HATE the fact they have a monopoly on its broadcasting for the USA =\
