Hmmm... It's just getting hard to maintain interest with the strangle hold that NBC has on broadcasts.

I really wish the IOC wouldn't give exclusive network deals. I don't believe there is a single network that can cover it all.

Same problem here, one channel that got the rights... A bit hard to broadcast all thats going on thru one friggin TV channel lol!

Eurosport broadcasts too. But they tend to show the same stuff as the first channel...

Well it's all about the money. No money, no Olympics as it's that commercial. Without exclusive broadcast rights, no network would bid near as high.
