I can't find all the other channels the Olympics are supposedly on. When I look for them, they aren't showing the Olympics. The only choice I had during east coast prime time last night was NBC, unless I am missing something.
I realize the re-scheduling of the Alpine Skiing events are killing them, but I like seeing sports and events that we normally don't get on American TV. The Winter X-Games were just on. I don't need to see it again.
I guess I'm just old.

All those cutesy things they show used to be interesting, but times have changed, and audiences have changed also. it's hard enough to pull off an event like Olympics coverage when things like weather run according to plan, but surely not in the conditions they have up there now.
