my question is more technical: how did the blot out the booing? and: how live was it in the US? from the Academy Awards we know that they have a 5s delay (following the Michael Moore incident), but what is it with olympics broadcast?

While they do show it live, it's in the middle of the workday, so almost everyone in the USA will have watched it delayed by many hours at "prime time", aka around 8pm local time in each zone. That being said, I'm in the US and I heard boos on the delayed broadcast.

  as I unterstand the boos were blotted out only on the NBC broadcast, did you watch it on NBC?

  Oddly I watched it live on the Eurosport broadcast and didn’t hear any noticeable booing

Just checked what Moore has done and found that quote of him (about Bush): > “we live in fictitious times with a fictitious president” it was 2003, but oh, dear Michael, if only you knew what the future would be like...

The audio engineers are monitoring multiple mics (for an event of this magnitude probably dozens) and increasing or decreasing volume on them in real time for the mix that goes on the air. Standard for any sports broadcast.

It was done recently with Donald Trump at the US Open Tennis: https://bimcmedia.com/booing-trump-at-the-us-open-tv-audience-censorship/ https://bimcmedia.com/booing-trump-at-the-us-open-tv-audienc... "The USTA’s decision to comply with the White House’s wishes and shield Trump’s self-presentation from noise is hardly understandable. The British Guardian called it in tennis jargon an “unforced error” – a fault without necessity. The US Open are actually the Grand Slam tournament that cares least about etiquette."
