NBC coverage of the Olympics is so fucking shitty. Too my cuts to other sports, too many commercials, too many commentary from retard journos. And it's not even LIVE. I just had to turn off the TV.

You have ads in your olympics coverage?
I only watch on my app and that has a 5 second skippable ad when you load the stream. Do you have an app like that you could use?

>download nbc olympics app
>watch obs footage of every event with no ads
problem solved, unless you're too poor for a cable subscription

I was about to say. Can't you catch all the coverage live if you put in your cable information?

Best coverage ever per capita.

can someone clue me in on wtf is going on. i was watching mens gymastics team finals then they cut it and ended prime time and now it's local news. i go to check google for a stream and apparently it ended earlier today and japan won. did they show the competition earlier today and this was a rerun or is their coverage really this bad?

NBC is a broadcast station; why should we need to get a cable subscription? Besides, who the fuck watches cable anymore? That shit's all online now.

we have official live streams that don't have commercials, but it seems a lot of people are having problems with the service due to shitty internet or computers.

Coverage is really this bad. Apparently the only live events NBC shows on their mother station are the most popular events of the day. Like top 3.

or people being poorfags who dont have cable

fucking end my life senpai

well you can either watch the shit they put together for their broadcast station, or you can pay a few dollars and watch the complete footage of every event without bullshit interviews, human interest stories, or cutting away after 20 seconds to show you another sport

hell, my cable subscription was free with my internet

my internet comes with cable and a landline phone. I barely watch tv and don't use the phone at all. I don't even think I can get internet only

the only true live things I've seen on NBC so far is swimming, ad that is only finals, they don't broadcast the prelims. I assume the track events will be similar. Basketball, soccer, and some smaller events are shown live on NBCSN, CNBC, and USA during the day. Everything else is heavily edited and shown during primetime when there is nothing else happening between their awful human interest shit.

I downloaded the beebs chrome extension and stream on the bbc semen pipeline with chromecast on my tv in HD quality.

I gave up on NBC's TV coverage on the first day. Their online streams are good and their site is well laid out for letting you know what the schedule is for everything.

>purposely delays men gymnastics on TV
>Primetime shows up no men's gymnastics
>shows men's gymnastics at 12am ET 10 hours after the event in RIO
>doesn't even show the whole thing

To the cord cutters of Sup Forums:
>U-block origin and noscript add-on
>Make a script that deletes your cookies and refreshes the page every 30min for NBC live stream.
>That's how you get the free Olympics

or you know not be cheap and poor. Come on you can even get these high quality strams by paying internet

even the NBC streams cut away all the time and doesn't show any interviews.

>showing every single tennis qualifier
>showing water Polo qualifiers
>showing weightlifting in its entirety
>showing swimming heats out of order at random times

>tfw the primary audience for the Olympics are middle-aged women who want it covered like reality TV instead of a proper sporting event

That's why we can't have nice things, lads.

everyone else is at work m8

use CBC or BBC

Just get a VPN and tune into BBC's iPlayer or CBC's coverage. The former is particularly based since BBC has all the events streamed and it has no commercials at all.

Certainly better than wasting your life listening to Matt Lauer.

NBC live streams are fine, why do people not know this?

The streaming is alright but it could be better. The schedules actually give you times for when all the events are happening but they don't tell you who's competing sometimes. And they should really give out small explanations or something on each sports' page since there's a lot of people that don't normally watch these things and it'd keep them more interested. There should also be more stories on athletes not American since they aren't relevant in every event but I know they'll never do that. The site design sucks too with a bunch of wasted space everywhere.

Are you gonna make this thread every night? Because if you are, then you should probably go and make it on any NBC site you can find, it will be easier for them to see it.

Because Comcast says fuck you, that's why

>with that commentary
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Which is weird since it's their customers who usually get fucked.

Comcast owns NBC. This is yet another example of their fuckery.

I hope the DOJ breaks them up and has their board executed.

Just watch streaming from the app, I have for 12 years. I'm not even sure what the primetime broad cast is like anymore.

Thanks senpai didn't know about this

I have PSVue and NBC is giving me a fucking dedicated soccer channel and a dedicated basketball channel. Why? Why can't I get just three channels that cycle through the sports like I should be able to get? You are making me seek out proxies to watch in Canada and shit just out of sheer necessity. American media is fucking behind the rest of the world, the fact that we have to dedicate at least 15 minutes per hour to commercials is so outdated in an age where you can stream it live online easily.

My biggest complaints are that it's 90% soccer and basketball, two sports with huge professional leagues that are widely televised. Once every four years people actually record the best of the best in more obscure sports, and the cocksuckers at NBC go on to broadcast the sports that already get the most tv air time. FUCK, all I ask is to watch a little bit of weightlifting and water polo once every four years, god damnit. Fucking NBC.

The most insulting thing about NBC Olympics. The evening shit is presented as if it were live, when actually it isn't. If they do it as a sports highlights show or sports news show, then so be it.

At least, the Americentric swimming events are shown live.

no you can get internet only they just don't advertise it. THey bundle the phone and tv so they can get subscriber numbers high for tv even for people who never watch it because they want to please Wall Street. Basically they inflate their tv numbers so their stock doesnt fall.

The only thing I'll admittedly say the US is shit for. Fuck you National Broadcasting Cunts

Cbc is pretty based. I don't know how Americans can enjoy watching delayed coverage filled with commercials

>my cable subscription was free with my internet

I hope you watch your bill.

>cheap and poor
Cable companies like Comcast give money for open borders to politicians yet they want to keep tv rights and intellectual rights a nationalist thing by not alowing consumers to buy a streaming subscription from say Romania or the UK? Fuck them. If we are going full globalist then I want the benefiets not just the negatives of globalism.

anyone who isn't poor has a cable subscription. and i mean dirt fucking poor, because even normal poor people can afford it.

I make $106,000/yr and my wife makes 60,000/yr. We don't have cable because (1) the companies who sell it are massive monopolistic jews who fuck you in the ass at every turn, and (2) the only thing we watch on cable is sports, which can be had in a better format by purchasing each respective sport's streaming app for the season.

I split the apps with a few other like-minded people so it doesnt cost me very much. But stop pretending everyone with any money is stupid enough to piss it away to companies like Comcast.

Based streams

our infrastructure and health insurance is also shit.

Bert and Ernie

absolute madman

What? No one in their 20s has a cbale subscription. Everyone uses Netflix or some other streaming app. YOu probably live in bum fuck no where with a data cap so streaming is impossible but in cities that are actually 1st world in America like mine I have unlimited fiber to the home.

There is 0 reason for cable

tv ratings for this olympics have been the worst since 92' (really makes you think considering Rio is in the same time zone ast the east coast almost). People either don't give a shit about the olympics or they are cord cutting, both are a nightmare for Comcast/NBC.

>spends the most money on broadcasting-rights worldwide
>has the shittiest broadcasting-schedule
why?

I eagerly want the USA to get another OG just so see how NBC is going to fuck up the broadcasting.

Holy shit I have never been more proud being British than I am.

This BBC iPlayer shit is so comfy.

I thought every country had a public funded broadcaster. For news and big national or international events like the Olympics. You know, the stuff you want to make available for everyone without a jew as the middleman. Did the moon landing also had commercials in it?

>I thought every country had a public funded broadcaster.
usa is no "country", it's a union of states. they don't even have proper healthcare, you think they can agree on financing a public broadcaster with commie-tasks like information and education?

Streaming on the NBC Sports app is better.

All events in full and live. Some of them dont have commentary. The ones that do arent the shitty proUSA homers that NBC puts out.

Only problem is that it will cut to ads when an event has a break.

Also question to anyone that uses the NBC app. The commentators are obviously either British or Australian. But are they NBC employees or official IOC commentators? Because like I said they are better than the ones that NBC put on the tv coverage.

i blame the southern and flyover states. the people are stupid as fuck there. they are the biggest receivers of welfare (state and personal)yet complain about "socialism". Ironically these dumbfucks think they would be better off if they seceded and this sentiment is strongest with the older voters who would be fucked out of pensions and medicare if we did break up. the south has no way to pay for any of it without nationalizing say oil (which the voters would be against because muh socialism).

Turbo capitalism is shit. I bet that there are no politicians that even dare to propose something like that. Probably because they get paid by the corporations like NBC.

I will alway be fascinated by their boner for Bolt over the entire USA track and field team.

It really is pathetic.

I think they assume that some Americans think Jamaicans are Americans too.

cant watch any streams because comcast bought nbc and did what greedy corps do. So much for antitrust.

We have PBS but its pretty much useless and the biggest shit they show on it is BBC dramas like Downtown Abbey. They have no where near the resources to buy sports rights though I remember watching tape delayed Serie A games on one of the PBS channels here in the NYC region like 10 years ago. ALso its too late for shit like this with streaming gonna overtake linear tv. NBC ratings for this Olympics despite being 1 hour ahead are one of the worst in he last 25 years.

>watching mens BV. Asutria about to upset Brazil.
>like 2 points left to go
>lets cut to some faggot in the studio and then go to rowing lol

They showed swimming prelims live yesterday morning. 10am-5pm is usually live events on the main NBC channel, but they still tend to bounce around.

NBC flatout said they don't treat the Olympics like a sporting even but a feel good story drama event. They say hardcore sports fans in America aren't their main target.

>try to put some fencing on my TV via the app and Chromecast
>some fucking minute-long star wars ad
>stream constantly bogs down and craps out within 5 minutes
>try loading another sport
>same minute-long ad
>go take a quick dump
>come back from the toilet, Chromecast is back at the default screen, stream and app having crapped out
Totally Comcastic. Thank goodness for Opera Dev, but unfortunately no TV support.

>ALso its too late for shit like this with streaming gonna overtake linear tv.

Public broadcasters are the ones who are streaming.

The only problem with the app isn't the ads, it's that the streams can be like 10 minutes behind actual "live." Try watching an event live on TV and then looking at the stream on NBC Sports.

I don't think they're NBC employees

Well I meant more of creating 1 national PBS linear channel then streaming.

>The people who watch the Olympics are not particularly sports fans. More women watch the Games than men, and for the women, they’re less interested in the result and more interested in the journey. It’s sort of like the ultimate reality show and mini-series wrapped into one. And to tell the truth, it has been the complaint of a few sports writers. It has not been the complaint of the vast viewing public.

Ah yes that shit is over. I don't have a tv connection either.

Because we are jews.

I don't think jews even have cable or satellite tv. They view it as the propaganda for the goyem. The really traditional jews don't even use electrical devices on the weekend.

Or if you have cable, wait every 30 minutes for it to crash and make you sign in again, it says you have to subscribe, refresh 15 times, then it signs you back in.

fucking shitshow

Well, Americans are pretty shitty, so yeah.

A

FUCKING

LEAF

can watch live online fellow burger bro

also you'll pay 80/mo for just internet at slow speed when you can pay 110/mo for cable too and much faster internet.

NFL network and ESPN for the 2 or 3 games per season they have.

We have PBS you retards, and it's better than anything you have. They just don't do sports, probably because the broadcasting rights are too expensive.

where u getting your internet man 50 bucks a month

I pay $35 for the slowest internet and i can stream everything. You either live in NYC or youre delusional.

>Streaming on the NBC Sports app

yeah what I really wanted was to watch sports on a 5 inch screen, NBC you are truly my greatest ally

Unless half-to-most of your teams' games are on the local CSN affiliate.

Bolt is a product not a person

Seems like none of their commentators know much about the sport they are covering. Plus all the commercials ugh, this could be one of the last televised Olympics Imo.

NYC Has cheap Internet prices actually because of competition and not being a Good Ole Boys Gop stronghold.

>implying regular season games even matter.

>We have PBS you retards, and it's better than anything you have.
HAHAHAHAHA!

The rest of the week however

Comshit monopoly

It's like they hired a dozen Phil Simms'

Phil Simms is much better than the shit like Bob Costas or the hosts like Matt Lauer or Meredith Viera who speak in high class aristocratic type of voice and mannerisms. They are so snobby especially Costas who thinks people tune in to listen to him. He has a huge overinflated sense of self worth.

What's the big deal with NBC coverage? I understand the primetime aspect of it. But the Olympics are on like 6 channels. NBC, NBC sport, spic relevision, USA, that brand new olympics only channel, and Nbc app.

>whats the big deal goys...err I mean guys?

I lol'd

They do this package shit for pretty much all of their televised coverage, and will frequently try as often as possible to duck out for an ad, even if it means missing something like a couple of points in a volleyball match. Shit, they don't even use networks that are literally airing infomercials when events are on.

You do know that splitting the channels means lower ratings for each one, right? One channel with all the coverage would do better since people have no choice but to watch that channel.

Let's just face it. We have the worst coverage in all of the networks. We should try and get some other networks to have the Olympics instead of NBC. Or NBC might have to change their tactics of how to cover the Olympics better.

>one channel with all the coverage
Well that would be shit because multiple sports play at the same time.
