We still have to watch the main events in "prime time" ? When will NBC learn ? When will we be able to see the big events live. I love the Olympics. I am sick of NBC's coverage

Also joining the telecast will be Dick Button

As a young man, I could have used one of those.

400 of the hours will be for "up close and personal" stories.

and 400 hours of it will be commercials, Bob Costas talking, and those human interest stories that always have "some dramatic story line of what adversity the athlete overcame to compete".

They are 6 hours ahead of us, right ?

If a big event starts at 8pm over there. Shouldnt we be able to watch it here ? Why wait til prime time ? Remember, this is the age of the internet.

Sporting events need to be shown live instead of tape delay.

I'll program my DVR to record it. I'll watch it around 11pm and skip the commercials, personal interest stories, figure skating and Gen-Y idiots doing ski tricks. I should be done watching by 11:30.
