I never saw the ABC years (too young), but I do remember when the Winter Olympics were still CBS, 1994 and 1998 in my case. Even the fluff and documentary features were better. I really enjoyed learning the story of Louis Zamperini before the 1998 closing ceremonies, which was long before the book, Unbroken. Most of the time I don't understand the point of fluff, though. They don't do fluff during the Stanley Cup, Super Bowl, World Series, and NBA Finals. If they do, it's minimal. I think the problem is how individual sports are treated versus team sports. I'm really glad for streaming, though, because I've hated commentary when I watch sports for a while now. I've gotten annoyed with biases in nearly all sports.NBC's Olympic coverage has traditionally been terrible. There have actually been news stories about how many people complain about NBC's coverage. They wanted more sports and less fluff. NBC has always responded that they have done research, that the majority of people who watch the Olympics are female, and that women want more fluff and less sports. It's gotten to where the coverage is ok with me because I watch the International feed and the only time I watch the NBC broadcast is to quickly check how they called a skate. ABC did a much better job IMHO and there was even one Olympics covered by CBS that wasn't bad.
