The Olympics are the monopoly. They are the ones who auction off U.S. television rights to a single entity. NBC is simply the company which won that auction.
I'm curious what you think NBC is doing wrong here. Should they call up CBS and offer to share the coverage that it just spent hundreds of millions for? Should it invite randos to Tokyo with their iPhones to stream the games on Twitch? Should it just make the entire Olympics pay-per-view?
As always, if you don't like it, start your own world-wide athletic contest.
- sophiaaaa 5y agoThat’s not the point BEFORE we used to be able to see All the Countries complete not just the USA NBC has done a shit job at showing all athlete and only show the “popular” sports who win medals. Did you know that in the Tokyo this year in Germany’s Women’s gymnastics wore shorts instead of leotards, NO All they Showed you in “prime time television” was Simone Bilies this Simone that, and then every so often they show Russia who ended up doing better then the usa I don’t know about you but it literally sucks that so many of these athletes work hard and because they didn’t place in medals or are not a favorite sport you have to try and stream on peakcock which has been down since the 1st day of the Olympics Literally during the 1500m swim race while lidecky was racing for gold they aird commercials in the middle of a meddling race and gave some stupid story on how all the miles she swam in her life she could swim from Dc to Tokyo like they ruin the fact that it’s about the worlds sports and show casing everyone’s hard work not cutting out what they think is unimportant Also they sport commentators literally sound bored People have the right to be up set who are you to shit on them
