don't tell you where you can go to continue watching.

I was watching women's skateboarding on one channel and they went to commercial right in the middle of the event so when they came back we had missed a run from a skater. After the next commercial they came back and went to another sport with no word on where to continue watching the skateboarding.

I've seen a lot of some events and none of others. I read in that article there was a WR in the triple jump. I didn't see the triple jump at all. Not one athlete. And I have been trying to watch the Olympics every day, all day.

NBC really dropped the ball on this and what sucks is they'll be broadcasting it for the next decade.

  - But we shouldn't accept it and just ignore it. They need to hear how poor of a job they're doing. We need more articles talking about how bad it - Krusty Aug 2, 06:54
