What is your overall grade of the Olympics?

Question

Specifically NBC's coverage. Anyone else pissed that they couldnt strike a deal with the other networks, that would stop them from showing the results, especially espn. Also NBC loves to save everything for primetime. Also all the other parts of the olympics, including the athletes and china, etc

Answer 1

i give it a -C

Answer 2

NBC's coverage: A+++++++

If you are blaming them you are just ignorant. Beijing is 12 hours ahead of  the east coast. That means they are competing while we are sleeping. If NBC didn't 'save that for prime time" you would have had to be up at like 4 am to watch. (which you could have done anyway, as they were showing live events all through the AM. I'm guessing you slept through it all.)

NBC went out of their way to get swimming an gymnastics events move to the early AM in Beijing JUST so we could see them happening live in prime time. Having the audacity to ask the IOC for event times to be moved just so you can broadcast them live is unprecedented and deserving of an A+ score no matter what else they did.
