  • NBC even had the Olympic organisers re-arrange events such as the swimming finals so that it ran in Prime time in America so to not show it live is a disgrace.

  • I was not aware of that. Here is all about money, not quality. This is an event that happens once every 4 years and they don't even have the decency to broadcast live. I see people talking about the ratings and they forget the ratings were so high because it was China and everyone was waiting to see if someone was going to make a statement. If the USA is really for human rights no one should have watch the Olympics to ensure they make a statement, but then again, ignorance wins.

  • I highly doubt that peopel would wake up at 8am EST on Thursday to watch the Opening of the Olympics I could be wrong thou since you seem to be an expert on television ratings. Just FYI this was the most watched Opening Ceremony with 34.2 million viewers, making it the biggest television event since the Super Bowl and even eclipsed this year's Academy Awards and finale of American Idol but you should have already knew that right?

  • You miss the point....but you should have already knew that right??? ")

  • Im from Vancouver, Canada. On December 27, 2008, NBC is going to rebroadcast the opening ceremony again at 8 pm. Dunno about USA tho and wut difference will it be when they rebroadcast it....

  • petriati,I guess you will be even angrier if you know that some parts of the ceremony,esceptially the part before the scroll, are cut by NBC.I have to say that NBC do not really understand what the Chinese what to show although they seemed like to have a China analyser there.

  • Someone told me that when the Chinese were performing the ceramic typewriter, the NBC spokesmen mistook it as Mahjong tiles. I mean, come on, think before you talk will ya?!

  • I agree with you my friend. I can not believe what they did...

  • NBC IS SUCKA!

  • This is a once-in-a-lifetime event and NBC f**ked it up. I just wish China is generous enough to do it again in the future.
