monkeybard: (bite me)
[personal profile] monkeybard
(I sent this slightly less vitriolic message today.)

If NBC were covering every Olympic event they possibly could across all their affliliate stations, one would be hard-pressed to drag me away from my television.  I know this because when I had access to Canadian coverage, that was how it was.  Forced by real life to leave my house for whatever reason, I would rush home, turn on the TV, and start looking for any Olympic event I could find.  This year, I find myself getting much more done during the day, which I suppose is a good thing.  But I'd rather be watching the Olympics.  This year, without the Canadians to fill in the time NBC is failing to fill, instead of being glued to my set all day long, I glance at the clock at about 7:30 or so in the evening and think, "Oh. I suppose there's something Olympic on TV soon.  Maybe I'll turn it on.  Or not."

On the positive side, I will say that I'm enjoying the figureskating commentary more this year.  They're talking much less during the performance, and I appreciate that.  Also, Bob Costas is providing some wonderfully entertaining moments.

Rest assured I will be putting pressure on my cable provided to put CTV on the system before the 2012 Olympics come around.
