>>Do we get to complain about the coverage? <<

I’ll start.
I want to see the Americans. The other country’s athletes should be time fillers. Show me any American who medals. Show me the ceremonies. I want to see our flag even if it’s in third place, so I can cry and cheer. OUR athletes worked so hard. Let us be proud.

We are close enough to Windsor to get CBC. Guess who we see there. THE CANADIANS!!! Just as it should be. We deserve to see our athletes. I was called a Xenophobe for this opinion. I don’t care.

I can’t believe I’m two hours away from Vancouver, in the same time zone, and we have to watch it on tape delay. Heaven forbid the Olympics should interrupt NBC’s precious prime time lineup.

I really miss Canadian TV. My kids grew up with Canadian Sesame Street and learned to speak french.

Sorry-I like to see all the superior athletes performing their feats and love to cheer whomever does the best. Did you see those Dutch fans-dressed in bright orange cheering on anyone who does well in speed skating like Shaunie Davis, a handsome African American skater. They love him because he loves the sport.

You mean CTV don't you? The goverment channel isn't covering the Olympics.

I completely agree with you.  They were gushing so much about the Canadians during the Mogul run tonight I actually turned it off.
