sleeping by the time Prime Time is on.

Suppose you watch NBC from 7AM to 1AM non-stop.  You will see some of the preliminaries live, in Swimming and Athletics.  You will get lots of rowing and canoing. They may give one or two team sports in full like Volleyball or Basketball, but they have farmed thes out to NBC Sports Network.

But here is the key.  They are not going to spoil the prime time show by showing events that are planned for prime time earlier in the day.  Just get used to it. There are so many other things to show earlier in the day, they do not have to show finals or gymnastics that are planned for Prime Time.

This formula has been used since 1964 and it works.   

I was in London 4 years ago and do you know what the BBC showed in Prime time?  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  It was back to regular programming when China was asleep.  THAT is not happening in the USA.

No spoilers: but there is NO REASON for NBC to not show the events live on the weekend! People are off work! What's the point? goodvibe61 Jul 28, 13:40

I totally agree - I kept waiting for NBC to have a pay deal for online coverage like CBS did with the NCAA basketball tourney in March JDolphin Jul 28, 14:20

They don't want their prime time to be filled with non-prime time events. It shows how backwards in thinking the network executives are. elchan Jul 28, 14:49

I wanted to watch cycling so bad, but no such luck... (SPOILERS) slappydavid Jul 28, 15:58

But all you need is a DVR or equivalent....I recorded NBC and started watching about 3 hours late. I could fast forward Buy BONDS 19 Jul 28, 22:39

It wasn't televised in my country, even if it was previously announced... {nm} slappydavid Jul 29, 05:47

I don't think UK audience would watch non-live sport (apart from highlights) {nm} Rednax Jul 29, 04:49

Also BBC isn't ad-funded so has no need to maximize audience by delaying to prime time {nm} Rednax Jul 29, 04:50

They're not gonna spoil it? What a joke. It's the real world, not the NBC world. Events happened 9 hours earlier on the west coast. goodvibe61 Jul 30, 08:12

Also: How exactly is it spoiling anything for Prime Time if they showed the event live at 11:00 AM? goodvibe61 Jul 30, 08:15

Not Going To Happen. They paid 1.8 Billion for rights years ago. They need prime time ad money. wroberson Jul 30, 22:12
