I'm iced in my apartment watching the NBC Opening coverage at the moment, and it's amazing how these correspondents job is to just "well actually China is bad" at every chance.

It is nice to see everyone in the audience wearing a mask.

I usually watch CBC but haven’t watched this olympics at all yet. Their coverage is usually pretty good, but may have changed with the kidnapping of the Michaels

it's pretty annoying with the pre-recorded footage. live is sometimes better.

just want 2 watch sports & take a break from politics & discuss it on the politics comedy subforum

also don't like how they don't show the winners in a sport and instead highlight the united statesians who place 20th in ski jumping wtf we want talent show us the frenchman!!

wife actually paid for the peacock (lol) and while I regret that they've gotten money from us, it's been great as we're just able to watch the raw feed from the stadium so I've missed all the absurd commentary while getting to see every ridiculous moment of ice dancing

Love NBC primetime coverage running a 5-minute package about the Uighurs every hour. I'm sure they'll keep up the practice of telling us why the host country is controversial when the LA olympics happen in 2028

I doubt they still do it because so much stuff is pre-recorded now, but I used to enjoy the mini docs of the athletes that they'd show between live events. like, some dude who boils tree sap for a living and then after work he practices his curling technique or whatever
