I agree, this years coverage of the olympic games has gone to the media hounds. It's no longer about the sports, it's about media hype and commercials. The Olympics has lost all meaning this time around. First the government virtually removes support for it's athletes and now the media is more interested in documentries of unrelated stuff like Greece landmarks. Sure it has some interesting bits, but come on we want to watch the games not 'spotlight hogs' that think their performance as anchors is more interesting than the games.
Last night in about an hour of watching I saw one single race which Lasted 4 mins. An athlete spotlight that Lasted 15 mins and the star attraction of the interview came in 9th place Woohoo, way to go CBC, you really know how to pick a winner. not only was the race boring because the commentators hardly knew the names of the runners, they almost exclusively followed that one athlete through the entire race.
One more comment, I have digital TV and the program guid has yet to show what is actually playing.
grrr, a very bad year for the Olympics. Too bad, they have some good events too.
Nuf Said, Cheers!
