"I Believe" was probably good for Vancouver after all was said and done, given the leadup to the Games, with Donald Sutherland voiceovers, and the theme being the hope for the "first Canadian gold on home soil" hype. But as a one off...should've went with something different for a non Canadian games.
But, glad its gone...CBC will probably need some help pulling this off, but CTV used more then one broadcaster to do other events that CBC used to do themselves, so as long as the online portion is there for CBC, they should be able to use International feeds...just a matter of what alternate channels they can use that reaches everyone in Canada.

TSN pretty much pulled this off themselves. Were there any CTV people anywhere? Maybe behind the scenes people.
It seemed like a TSN production with Sportsnet people sprinkled in. CBC has enough play-by-play guys and the analysts are pretty much the same. There are a lot of ex-athletes.
The online portion will definitely be better. It was better in Beijing than in London and CTV has 4 more years of technology. Way too many ads and feeds kept dropping at around noon.
