There was an excellent piece a week or so ago about the ridiculous attempts of NBC to delay showing many Olympic events until prime time, in order to maximize profits...though they are posting the results. Obviously, in this age of instant info, the results are immediately available, though as exclusive rights owner, NBS can embargo the video until it chooses. This is probably the last Olympics where they can pull that off..it probably means that the price of Olympic rights is far to high...and confirms the dictum that information...which included video..longs to be free...
Check out post #9. Just read that last night and it’s very interesting. Western Union handed out franking privileges to politicians to curry favor.
And we thought it started with ABCCBSNBCCNNNYTimesLATimes...
