Well actually they tape delay it so NBC can get the big bucks for
putting it on in prime time. This happens for every Olympics outside the
US mainline time zones.


Exactly- Don't attribute to prudishness what can be explained by
corporate greed.g

Seems to me, though, that with the current state of cable feeds, NBC
could do both a live feed and a primetime feed. Probably need the
time to insert appropriate commercials or something.
