On the whole I’m felling pretty let down about my own Olympics viewing experience. I was really looking forward to having it take place in my own time zone, getting to see some live events without having to stay up till/wake up at five in the morning. I was really jazzed to see women’s curling, ski jumping, and men’s hockey. My buzz was seriously harshed when, on day one, I changed the channel to get away from the execrable Bob Costas, only to be slapped in the face with the harsh reality that there was absolutely NO coverage on CBUT, the CBC channel that I am very fortunate to get due to living close to the border. It was all downhill from there. I never really saw much of what I was looking forward to, and NBC’s primetime repackaging was lame and confusing. I did see the curling final, but that was just a bummer to see Canada lose like that. I totally missed out on the ski jumping except for a bit of a preliminary. The hockey final was a nail-biter, but it really, really sucked seeing a game of that magnitude, played on Canadian soil, outside the context of a Ron and Don broadcast. It was just plain wrong. NBC did throw us a very small bone by showing a super brief clip of Don talking about the game just before its start, but that was it. I don’t know how the CTV (or whatever it was) coverage was up north, but down here the whole thing was pretty lame. Gonna have to wait for the World Cup for a satisfying global sports fix, and the usual staying up till/getting up at five in the morning…..
