I have to admit, I know there are lots of complaints about it, but I like NBC's delayed prime-time coverage.

I don't need to know instantaneously what happened, and I like watching events without knowing the outcome.

Responses:

The results are getting spoiled everywhere. It's nearly impossible to make it through the day without getting spoiled. - Krusty Aug 1, 10:38 15
- I don't twitter, and I don't facebook. I have had zero problem avoiding spoilers. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 10:51 6
  - I got spoiled trying to read the news on the NY Times website. It was the top story and with no spoiler warning. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 11:12
  - if only those were the only sources. -- nm - loosilu Aug 1, 10:58 3
    - I didn't say those were the only sources. But those are ones that are easily avoided. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:03 2
      - apparently you don't have a lot of contact with humans. ;P -- nm - loosilu Aug 1, 11:08
      - Agreed. I have yet to be spoiled. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Aug 1, 11:04
  - we'll get to you shortly... -- nm - NYTimes Aug 1, 10:52
- I've pretty much given up. yesterday was a mass of spoilers all day. -- nm - loosilu Aug 1, 10:47
- In the social media era, there is little NBC can do about this any time the Olympics are not in the Americas. - David Aug 1, 10:40 6
  - My anger is with the reporting of the results without a spoiler warning. - Krusty Aug 1, 10:43 3
    - Be like me, only go to team-specific non-olympic sport blogs, and TT (where folks are pretty considerate of spoilers). (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 10:55
    - apparently my phone isn't safe. -- nm - loosilu Aug 1, 10:47
    - Yeah, that definitely sucks. -- nm - David Aug 1, 10:45
  - Couldn't they air things live earlier in the day then re-air them again in prime time? -- nm - Inigo Aug 1, 10:42 1
    - Ratings slip at night when this happens. - David Aug 1, 10:44
Until the Today Show spoils the outcome just prior to the event. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:34 3
- Don't watch the Today Show. *claps hands* Problem solved. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 10:36 2
  - No. We talked about this yesterday. A lot. -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 10:50
  - No, the ad for the Today Show just prior to the event. It was "See Missy Franklin tomorrow on the Today Show to talk about her first gold medal." - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:39
ditto -- nm - Jovian Aug 1, 10:32
In re: the Olympics, obive. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 10:32
