much less in coverage, like none if done at the same time -- nm* - Beaker Aug 3, 16:15 7
- If it was combined, there would be a lot of pressure placed on broadcast networks to provide proportionate (whatever that means) coverage in primetime -- nm - rollo Aug 3, 16:49 2
  - so, like the pressure to cover it after the Olympics the way they do now? -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 16:55 1
    - I take your point. I'm talking about a captive audience. -- nm - rollo Aug 3, 21:32
- So, a lot like now? - Mop Aug 3, 16:18 3
  - Hmmm...maybe I was too narrow minded in my thought of the logistics. So half as many events per day but twice as many competitors and competetions -- (edited) - JD Aug 3, 16:51 1
    - There’s lots of options. - Mop Aug 3, 17:07
  - or they would flip to the gold medal soccer game, or 200 medal race or beach volleyball -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 16:24
