Anyone else pissed at the olympic coverage? We only have basic, basic cable so we only get the NBC coverage and not supplemental coverage on the other NBC channels like MSNBC. Even though when the Beijing games started I looked at the schedules of all the events that I wanted to see and almost none of them were being carried on anything. No shooting, fencing, and only one mention of canoe/kayak finals (on USA channel). I watched the first night to see if I could see a recap of the US Women sweeping all three medals in Sabre and scoring the first Gold for the US of the games, but no. Instead we got to see Michael Phelps swim, followed by a few replays. On Wed. this week I tried to watch some in the morning and caught some Taekwondo (on the CBC of course) and then watched mens hurdles. What did they show in primtime that same night. The very same hurdles. The best part is they can take a race that lasts a matter of seconds and replay it over and over since it is so short.

The US Women win the gold in soccer, but Telemundo carries it. What does NBC have? beach volleyball.

At least here we have the option to watch CBC, for some better coverage. Too bad they lost the rights i Canada. For the 2010 winter games and 2012 Bejing games the contract went elsewhere.

GGGGGRRRRRR!!!!!!
