How do you like NBC's Olympic coverage?

NBC will now take over broadcasting all sports. All games must be played between daylight and 3 PM. The recorded games will be shown on primetime but they will divulge the scores of the games all afternoon.

    With NBC's selective coverage of an event (overly-praising American competitors while dismissing foreigners who happened to win the medals) couldn't be worse.

    How wrong I was.

    When Bob Costas was sick and replaced my Meredith Viera, the FCC should have intervened. Her pithy and trite comments made Top 40 DJ's seem profound and thoughtful in comparison.

    As for broadcasting results before prime time, that was going to happen. Other networks are doing their best to leak the results, hoping you'll watch their programming instead.

    It suck, Primetime is showing things that happened 12 or more hours earlier. I'm lucky where we are we get CBC and they show it live starting at 9 pm EST until noon the next day. They understand most people have DVRs so can tape and watch it.

    Very Poor coverage. NBC should not have a monopoly the Olympics

    Honestly, I am so disappointed not to see the medal ceremonies. If there is a channel that would show them, I would be watching that channel. I know that there are many, but I love that part of the Olympics. Otherwise they have been doing fine. Not better than other years, but no worse.

    This year's coverage is better than any other NBC coverage I can remember. Not that that's saying a lot.

    I think the coverage sucks.
