I totally agree. I normally watch more of the winter games then summer (I’m a big hockey fan) and Salt Lake and Torrino coverage was horrible. Like you said, too much focus on personalities and not the sports.

Well at least with the next Winter games in Vancouver, we should see a lot more live coverage. I preferred CBS’ Winter coverage than NBC’s.

And I think this time NBC was better, but they still can’t hold a candle to the job ABC used to do with the Olympics.

Yep.

I watch less of the Winter Games than Summer Games but this is the first coverage in a long time that didn’t focus on those sob stories. And, with more TV stations and internet, I was able to watch some of the events not televised during prime time.
