… then you’ll enjoy a collection of rants. This from deadspin.com. Topic: NBC’s coverage of the Olympics, particularly what it chooses to broadcast live, and how much tape delay there is. Interesting; I thought NBC poured millions into research of coverage of the Beijing Olympics to figure out who to deliver what content on what platform, but they still seem to be stuck in traditonal TV broadcast mode: we’ll show the best story in primetime, and who cares what the results are, as long as we’ve got a heartwarming story to tell.
