Americans who want to see actual
competition (instead of endless human-interest stories
and taped highlights of US competitors)
have to resort to watching CBC.
The excellent live coverage from Canada almost makes up for
Celine Dion. | [reply] |
Don't blame us for Celine Dion. She's from Quebec.
As for the CBC, Olympic coverage may be good, but the constant reruns of old sitcoms is boring.
How about Olympic keyboarding???

Ah, how true! It's good to know I'm not the only one to notice.
As an example, during men's gymnastics the other day, they would
only show the U.S. team, even when they weren't competing! They
would show the U.S. team taping their fingers or chatting with
their coach rather than show the other events going on at the
same time. How upsetting!
Oh, they would show other teams, sure - only when they made
mistakes.
I mean, it's one thing (and OK) to vouch for your team, but this is
absolutely shameless!
Arggggghhhhhhhhh.....

if you are lucky, in a northern state, you might catch the CBC channel on cable.
Unlike NBC in the states, the CBC shows actual events as they happen.
This is the worst coverage ever in the US. coming on the heels
of the previous worst ever, which followed the previous worst ever.
It's a national embarassment IMHO

Ahh, the CBC, the only thing they are good for is olympics, hockey and This Hour has 22 Minutes ;-) They do sports very well. Not only are they showing the events that have Canadians in them, they also show all the major medal events (meaning, basically no Canadians ;->). I have never been disappointed in there olympic coverage
