The 'nut' graf...
In the fourth quarter, parent company General Electric said net income at the network, its owned-and-operated TV stations and TV production studio dropped 60% the previous year. The company estimates that NBC's profit will tumble as much as an additional 25% in 2006.

I can no longer watch the Olympics when NBCCBSABC do them.
All of the touchy/feely little stories they do really turn me off and the NBC commentators must actually think they are funny and witty. Plus, whenever I see Katie Couric my fingers automatically go to the remote and switch the channel.
Plus, the amount of self serving commercials!!
I now get my results and clips on the web.

NBC is betting, pretty heavily, that while you're watching telecasts of the Winter Olympic Games
Not if they follow the same planning they have in previous Olympics -- delayed events, splitting events and delaying broadcast of finals, and splattering coverage erratically over their cable channels.

NBC will bomb on the Olympics like they always do. They'll give us a 1 minute snippet of the Men's downhill and then cut away to two hours of Mens Pairs Ice Dancing practice. Then they will have a 40 minute special interest story about how Ethiopia's Luge ream trains on a mud track with cardboard boxes. Instead of showing the Luge event, you'll get 2 more hours of Ice Dancing.

Why don't they just broadcast commericals for Dateline announcing "The Shroud is fake! The Shroud is fake!!"

Tonight I felt like having a good laugh..so I turned the tube on to see if anything good was on...FORGETIT! I ended up on the funniest animal channel! Boy, what I give to see shows like the I love Lucy comedy show without a sex theme! Clean, funny and family oriented! Oh well, back to the ancient practice of reading books! :(
