I'm An Entitled Asshole & I Hate NBC

[SirMoby]

I didn't think that a US station was actually allowed to show complete live Olymic coverage. I know they could show reruns of events but only after ensuring that an acceptable outcome was achieved.

Oddly enough, you did touch on something with that - NBC hates to show live events from the Olymnpics because they don't have TV Time Outs like they do in the major sports. CBC doesn't seem to care, I watched the Female 3000 Meter Speed Skating live this morning (and then the edited & full ofg commercials version on NBC at 3)

I also know most of the results for the coverage that starts in about 15 minutes

CBC probably doesn't mind loosing some commercial air time during the Olympics because each Canadian tax payer helps fund the network (and its worth it.)
