Members Soapsuds Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 Wow, those are impressive numbers for NBC. I just checked out last night's numbers. And they are way down to only a 14.9 rating. I guess people will be tuning in less now that the swimming and most of the gymnastics are over with. Everything seems to be tape delayed and not live.

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 We get 14 - 15 hours of telecast a day from one channel and about the same on the 2nd channel that shows the Olympic's Between the 2 channels they do try to cram in as much live stuff as they can. And the taped stuff usually isn't that old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 Here is a link the the channel that is showing the oylmpic here. It is their vidoes and I think that there is a pretty good selection (and maybe a little aussie baised) and I think is updated often http://au.sports.yahoo.com/olympics/video/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They printed a lot of Taekwondo ones and we got the gold in that, and there was also anouther event that they didn't expect Aust to get gold in either. Funny enough was that they didn't print very many of the where we were expected to get the gold.

Members MTSRocks Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yeah and the announcer was a prick. Did you hear when he said, "and for Lolo Jones [pause] nothing." That delivery was so cold, but kinda unintentionally funny. Oh and Usain Bolt is my new track & field hero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
