Just wanted to let you know that CBC will be broadcasting the Olympics> The host will be Ron MacLean, Terry Leibel and Brian Williams. They are going to provide 100 hours of coverage. I hope they will show all the figure skating so that we can see all the skaters. Let the Games Begin.

You are correct, there was typo in the newspaper. I should have figured that out myself. Thanks.

According to the T.V. guide, they will be showing more of the Olympics than NBC.

100 hours is pretty impressive. I wonder how much of it is going to be "live" coverage? With the 6 hour time difference most events are going to be finished around dinnertime in the East.
