Re: VANCOUVER 2010
NBC is paying a fortune to televise the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. That means, folks, that we will again be bombarded with GAZILLIONS OF COMMERCIALS!!! Granted, some of the commercials aired at the Salt Lake City games were almost an entertainment in themselves, but, frankly, too much is too much.
We'll probably see a lot of live broadcasts. As for the figure skating, since Vancouver is on Pacific Time (I think) - three hours behind New York - the figure skating competitions may begin at, say 4 or 5 in the afternoon so they can be broadcast live across North America.
The ABC coverage of the 1988 Winter Olympics ladies long program - with Witt, Manley, Thomas, Ito, and Trenary - was absolutely fantastic. We saw practically every skater, starting with the lesser ranked skaters to the medal contenders towards the end of the evening.
Can't wait!!
