I really have little interest in most of their evening composite coverage.


TOPICS: News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: olympics

No, that would be something to do in 2013. Their view of how to broadcast the Olympics is from 1996.

What, you mean you want to see MORE than just the US competing, drama stories, commercials and Bob Costas droning on?

I may see a little in their “prime time” coverage - but not much.

Working hours just do not permit staying up late to watch a bunch of self-serving broadcasters.

You would hope there is some bootleg operations streaming events. It is Russia after all.. Good luck!

NBC deserves to lose its shirt on these games. Why should they make a dollar appealing to our patriotism when they continually tear down the values of this nation with their Leftist propaganda?

I’m sure their broadcasts will be a queer as possible.

If you’re in the US and have a cable or satellite provider, nbcolympics.com will stream every event live.

There is no way I would sign on to any site to receive anything regarding the Olympics.

and Bob Costas droning on?

Thanks for reminding me. Time to dust off the old tagline.

I know they are streaming events, however I had heard they are not live, just pre-televised

They didn’t get the Olympics to show you sports. They got the Olympics to show you an endless parade of tearjerker vignettes with an added gay rights bow. You can probably get that streamed but why would you?

NBC is supposed to broadcast all events live. I went over and signed onto the NBC link but I don’t know yet how it works. I watch all the tennis grand slams on ESPN stream. It is the only reason I haven’t gotten rid of cable. No cable, no computer streaming.

Watching the men's short program for the team skate. This is great getting to watch on my computer the sports I want to watch and not having to listen to all the ridiculous human interest stories about the athletes

No. The time difference in Moscow Time from Eastern Standard Time is 9 hours so all events here will be carried on tape delay.

On some cable provider channels - mine doesn’t carry the NBC Sports Channel so I’m out of luck. I only receive the standard cable channels on Charter.
