Answer 1

You may be watching at the wrong times. On NBC, I saw about 30 million reruns from the past two days last night. They're definitely playing them. I remember being annoyed because I had already seen it, haha.

Answer 2

NBC paid like $900 millions for the exclusive right in US. So other news organizations can't show any videos without their permission and this year for the first time, it includes the internet. So here in the US, u can only watch the Game on NBC and its sister channels such as MSNBC, CNBC ... Plus others may not want to do it anyway since recap may attract more audience for NBC. And NBC would like to show the best events in the prime time to help the rating. This means tape delay if necessary.

Answer 3

I know it's on today on NBC from 10a on. If you can't catch it on NBC, try NBC.com =)

Answer 4
