I sent an email to NBC complaining about Costas' attitude both last night and the night before at the opening ceremony.
For the life of me, I don't understand why they don't have all day programming on Sat & Sun so we could see LIVE what is going on! It's in the United States after all, and therefore no time zone business. Besides, even when it's half way across the world, I'd get up to watch. But no, even then they have to tape delay everything. I'm with you, minimize the profiles and commercials and show the d*mn sports.
Seems like every olympics is a disappointment in terms of coverage. CBC was claming to have live coverage of figure skating but in reality only for a select few pairs and then they kept switching to another sport. I wish they would show it all the way through because even the sucky skaters put it all into perspective of just how difficult it is to win. I think that iskater.com has live full coverage you can sign up for. I might get better coverage on my Imac.
