Thanks to CTV, TSN and Sportsnet
For doing a pretty damn good job of covering these games. With three channels and lots of replays, we didn't miss a thing and there was always something to watch. Everything was nicely coordinated between the networks. This has been my favorite Olympics TV coverage. Kudos!

Yeah, they really did an excellent job. Minimal James Cybulski was a good thing.

Yeah it was always nice to be able to flip through 3 channels and have something different on all 3. When CBC has the games, I can't remember if anyone else shows anything or just them.

CTV streaming was superb. No issues at all and great quality--I burned through something like 50 GB (!!) streaming the games.

Definitely much better than what CBC did in the past. The summer games in London is going to be a tall task though. Is Sportsnet also involved for that games too? Also I hope TSN2 for the summer games gets used for Live coverage instead of timeshifted stuff.

Yes, thank you CTV, TSN, Sportsnet and the rest of the Olympic broadcast consortium for making it nearly impossible to be productive the last couple of weeks.

Really loved the 24/7 coverage of the Olympics by 3 networks. Are the three going to be involved in similar fashion for the London Olympics?

At the end of the last montage CTV said "See you in London", so I hope so.

Do we know yet who will be doing the coverage of the Summer Olympics? Hell, I'll probably going so I guess it doesn't matter.

CTV for sure is doing it since they closed coverage with saying they're covering London.

The coverage was pretty good.
My only complaint is I wish the could have broken down the time slots for PVR users. It was annoying trying to record events when it's listed in 6 hour blocks of HD programming.
