Summer Olympics 2012

We've got one free-to-air channel playing it that jumps all over the fucking place between events, then you can just watch individual events on cable.

China is the Medal leader

Yeah, 15 hours including commercials. After you remove those, the the commentator "giggle moments", the interviews, replays, and human interest stories, you'll be left with less than 5 hours of actual coverage and two of those will be women's beach volleyball.

I wish the IOC would open up the bidding at the event level and require a minimum percentage of the competition be aired. That way, we might actually get to see events like fencing, archery, shooting, judo, etc., when other networks pick up what NBC considered unworthy.

i think the US will top the medal count this time around.

Its amazing how shitty some of USA's expected top athletes have done, but still doing well overall.

And I love women's beach volleyball...except when they play at night and wear those full body outfits...

Those were the least attractive outfits for the ladies I have ever seen. At least the US match last night the other team was amazing...

Pretty disappointing this year.

Right on! I'm not around to watch all the events anyway but they should, for cultural significance, be a spotlight on the network(s) that carry them, it's an insult to the world not to.

These moron network planners are so worried about their ad revenue and polls and stats that they actually are fucking confused enough to omit Olympic coverage in some insane retarded ad revenue algorithm some unneeded ivy league nepotism rat decided in a boardroom. Cant see the forest through the trees.
