NBC deserves all the crap they get....the Olympics are in July, by far the worse time of year for weather there, all because of American TV... and instead of delaying the Olympics a few months until the Japanese were ready they are going forward during the pandemic only because it interferes with their fall schedule.

The canceled Tokyo games of 1940 were to take place in the end of September and the beginning of October. And of course the Tokyo games of 1964 took place in mid-October. The current games shows how little regard the IOC and the networks have for the "unpaid" worker / athletes. I'm sure that if the money were right the IOC would schedule the games again in Mexico City but during the heat of the summer.

Started watching early this morning via CBC which has been great. As I'm typing I'm currently watching NBC primetime coverage which will include some live Swimming finals and skateboarding. For the most part its been cool. The usual condensed stuff with minimal commercials.
Has anyone in the U.S. or Canada try BBC yet?
