My take on NBC and CBC:
NBC -- If an American athlete is competing in an event, we don't even find out the names and countries of the other competitors. Bloody annoying!
CBC -- More balanced coverage, but only (as someone said) because there aren't many events they can cover where Canadians are likely to win. I really hate the way they show the tape-delayed stuff, with a bunch of dramatic post-production (anybody watch the women's cycling road race yesterday PM?)...I understand the time difference, but why can't they show the tape delayed stuff as it happened, rather than making it into some BS cut-down version of the event?
