NBC Sports will televise on April 13 at 4:30 p.m. ET so the best routines will soon after be uploaded to YouTube. Someday TV will steam our meets much more quickly and allow fans worldwide to pay them money for the service. Until that time, networks should expect us to watch for free on YouTube.
This is an Olympic preview. People would gladly pay money to see it. Hey NBC, why not put it on HULU.com so at least Americans could see it sooner? Two weeks after the competition? Do people want to watch the Superbowl two weeks later?
On the bright side, depending on where you live, you may get to enjoy NBC Olympic coverage with Tim and Elfi much more quickly in Beijing.
NBC Sports will produce a daily two-hour gymnastics program to air on cable network Oxygen from 6-8 p.m. ET, each weeknight of the Games. …
I grudgingly admit that NBC is doing a few things right trying to reinvent itself as relevant media in 2008. We are lucky they have the Olympics, and not other American networks.
For example, NBC Sports has a dedicated Gymnastics page. But they weren’t savvy enough to give it an RSS feed.
