I have not watched the Olympics because of NBC.

When I want to view an event, I want to watch all of it. Every single athlete as they compete.

Highlights and human interest stories are not what I want to view.

They've cut down on the human interest stories tremendously.

I haven't watched anything on NBC in more years than I can count.

They had a pay-per-view package like that in 1992 that NBC lost over $100 million on. I personally paid for that package and enjoyed the coverage. I really don't understand why that cost so much to do considering that the camera crews already cover all the sports for the various TV networks around the world. I would much rather see the live events than the overly processed reruns.
