But, but....NBC told us that we don’t want live coverage. We want tape delayed coverage with lots of human interest stories about polar bears and gay guys who get death threats because they wear fur.

You mean....they could be wrong?!

So, the Olympics are too gay and that is way it is losing to American Idol.

That’s like saying Jm J Bullock is not as big a star as Harvey Feinstein due to homophobia.

The failure of NBC to stream the events live has cost them tons of viewership and revenue.

Nothing against taped events, broadcast them in the evening for those who wish to watch, but why wouldn’t you stream the events live with sponsorship over the net as they occur for those who want them?

Schedule the big things to be live during your broadcast times, that’s fine, but no reason not to stream everything live. And no, I don’t think needing to sign in with your ISP service provider to watch CURLING life is effective streaming.

I have Comcast as my cable provider but have no idea what my COMCAST user account is... and no I’m not going to go find out to log into your sight, I’ll just watch it by proxy through some other method or not watch at all.

Who thought that genious idea up should be shot.
