Olympic sized FAIL by NBC.

NBC is horrible when scheduling what Olympic event they are showing and at what time. For example, they make a big deal about the Russia vs Czech Men’s hockey game which started at noon yet they show it at 3pm. At the same time the biggest game for North America, the US vs Canada Men’s hockey game, is shown live at 4pm. WTF were they thinking? 2 of the biggest games being shown at the same time even though they were staggered by the Olympics so people could watch both. This isn’t the first time they’ve messed up either cause all of the games up to this point have either been cut to mid way through or they make the viewer change stations mid way through a period but it’s not seamless cause when you get to the new station they are still finishing up with what was already being shown on that station. Not to mention they don’t take TV timeouts in international play so when they come back to the game from commercial you’ve missed parts of the game.
I understand that there are so many different events going at the same time, but you have like 5 different channels showing stuff yet you still delay showing em so you can get better ratings. Meanwhile all the news agencies around the world post the results of who won which metals and takes the excitement out of the Olympics.
First they fuck up the Tonight Show with giving it back to Leno, now they destroy the Olympics. Massive FAIL on their part.
