Agenda item! General Electric owns NBC.

Um..ok...but I still don't get the connection to the polar bears. Does GE own them too? lol

Do you remember the comments? "they are on the endangered species list arent they?" I believe they said the bears population was more than the town.

You have to watch the other channels to get better sports coverage. You need cable, so you can watch things on MSNBC, USA, CNBC, Universal, and Universal Sports.

Also you can watch things via the Internet.

Unfortunately, where I live (out in the boonies), we don't have access to cable. We have Dish Network though and don't have those other channels you mentioned. Also, living in the boonies means slow internet, which means we can't stream channels and videos...well...that takes forever to download. It sucks. But if NBC, who apparently owns the monopoly on the games this year showed the actual games..WHEN they were played and completely, it would be a moot point. I can only hope they lose their contract when the next winter games roll around in 4 yrs.

US Olympic coverage sucks, big time. I am glad I am not the only one who has been fuming at the stupidity of the coverage, the absence of 'sport' stories and the inanity of the scheduling.

I don't know if this correct or false advertising, but this is what Dishnetwork.com's home page has:

I just looked at the Dish Network website. I am really surprised that MSNBC and CNBC are not in the 120 (bottom) package. HOWEVER YOU do have the USA network, which will show some more sports. Better than nothing.
