ESPNews has been doing the same with their scoreboard at the bottom of the screen even during the daytime while events are ongoing.
You can get live results online.
DISH Network carries the NBC Olympic Highlights Channel (granted it's "updated" after NBC's primetime coverage), but there is also a channel that allows you to see picture in picture (select one of the pictures and it takes you to that channel) the channels carrying the Olympics as well as an interactive onscreen application that allows you to read the medal counts and live results on screen.
Do you happen to have a number for that?
I forgot to put the sarasm tag on that post...
I was NOT happy to see the results ahead of time...I am old-fashioned enough to want to be "surprised"...
But, thanks for the information.
