Thank goodness I'm in Canada.
We have three channels that are broadcasting the Olympics probably 12-16 hours a day. And it's not just because they're in Canada this year, it's pretty standard to have great coverage.
I remember being in the US during the Atlanta Olympics and couldn't believe that they were only shown for a few hours a day with limited events.
- Mongoose 17y agoI'm glad it turned out nicely for you guys, given that the Olympics are in your backyard. I would've liked CBC to have Olympic coverage though, as it's the only Canadian channel broadcast in the Seattle/Puget Sound area. I could've then watched the US vs Canada hockey game yesterday, given my lack of MSNBC.
- halostatue 17y agoWe've got three channels broadcasting, but not a one of them is as good as CBC. Hopefully this is the last Olympics CTV ever gets. :|
- mattm 17y agoYeah, I prefer CBC as well. CTV just paid more money for this package being that it was more lucrative with them being in Canada. I think the IOC sells the TV rights as a package for both summer and winter. So if you want the winter, you have to buy the following summer. If that's right, CTV will probably be broadcasting the London games.
- p_h 17y agoyeah, it's just weird not having CBC cover the olympics
