I’ll be honest I’m not real impressed with the coverage overall. I hardly ever know if I’m watching something live, even when I’m watching at night or in the morning when there are actual live events on. I feel cheated when I watch something for an hour only to come post about it and realize the event is a replay from the day before. They put live banners on the screen. Why not “replay”?

They hardly ever have a “home base” kind of thing that I remember from 2010 where they had so many great interviews and segments.

Then I go to the CBC website and they have lots of links to live feeds but very little in terms of live event updates and such. The other day I was watching hockey and it took me like 10 minutes to find a page that had the men’s free skate standings.

If it weren’t for your daily posts and threads I’d be so friggin lost when it comes to figuring out what is on and when.

I’m glad we get a lot of coverage but it doesn’t seem well organized.
