Tara and Johnny will be doing the online stuff - not the primetime TV.Hoping. They said Tara & Johnny for Sochi, and that's all that have been on with Terry. And Tanith will be there
Still strange to me how NBC can justify keeping all (or the majority) of their focus on the singles disciplines. How can they predict from which discipline the stars that will be of interest to the US/North American viewing public will come from unless they include pairs and especially, dance?
Kinda wish Johnny would talk just a little bit less. Was overkill on Yuzuru's performance imo
How was Johnny's debut?)) I wish I could watch NBC with his commenting
Johnny Weir is on NBC now, commentating men's with Terry Gannon. Dream Team!
However, I did feel that Terry Gannon was questioning Johnny too much during the skaters' programs and it was a little distracting trying to hear the music.
yuz's costume too feminine-thanx johnny.
The idea that men have to conform to a traditionally "masculine" image--even in performance!--is as problematic as women being expected to conform to a traditionally "feminine" image. Isn't it time to move away from the stereotypes already? We know Yuzuru likes the style of Johnny's costumes, and Johnny said Yuzuru was very clear about what he wanted regarding the costume. If it works for Yuzuru, fine.
It was interesting to hear that Yuzuru is so in charge of his performances, choosing music, costuming, etc. himself. If it helps him really feel the program, I'm all for it! I hope he can really bring it in his next GP.
I think Johnny did a great job on his first outing--insightful and informative analysis, and he had something positive to say of all the skaters.

Did NBC officially announce today that their Sochi roles will be only online? The press release from Thursday says, "multi-platform coverage," without ruling out the inclusion of broadcast TV.
Here are the line ups for Sochi:
NBC main network coverage:
Tom, Sandra, Scott, Tracy
NBC multi-platform coverage (online)
Terry, Tara, Johnny
NBC Olympic Sports Desk/Olympic Zone (show for the affiliates):
Tanith (reporter)
Read this on another forum a couple of days ago. I can't find it on the NBC Media Village site.
