Edit: The Telemundo shots are in Hialeah, FL

 

Hialeah... close to my backyard. Telemundo has been here since forever.

Oh, and the actual Olympics graphics ... these are probably, by far, the worst design I've ever seen.

 

They're seemingly a modification of Sochi/London, except with this ugly teal color and well...

Who thought yellow text was such a good idea? Otherwise these graphics wouldn't look as terrible as they do now.

WCNC is gonna use a "sand desk" for the Olympics... [MEDIA=twitter]761294657103855616[/MEDIA]

 

Takes a lot of "grit"to sit behind that thing...

I bet they are rooting for "I-rock".......

Hope they are not too "stoned" to complete the events...

"Back to you Sandy"...

What events are "Slated" for tonight???

That racer is a "chip" off the old "block"...

His Abs are "rock" hard...

"Granite" this joke is pretty bad...

"It's our buddy....Cliff!

 

 

to be continued....

Apparently there's an NBCU Torch Relay going on on Twitter - it started with Sports, then onto some TV shows, different NBC News, MSNBC shows and finally onto Twitter.

Unfortunately it seems like Baltimore was skipped over.

 

Also some set shots:

And the final destination....joint-being-passed.png.17324b3f7bf50742c241a3d22fccf4f3.png

I thought the final destination was at rio de janiero

 

No, The water was dirty when they got there, and the birds all had zeka virus. So they are going to Jamaica instead. Since it's too late to change the graphics they are just going to use the RIO graphics and hope nobody notices. Try not to tell anybody please because we don't want to ruin it for NBC.

 

Thank You TVNT and Mardek

How so?

 

#nbcfail on Twitter ('tis tradition). There are probably other anti-NBC hashtags I don't know about.

 

On Reddit, the Olympics subreddit has four threads complaining about NBC.

 

In the broadcasts themselves, the BBC, Globo, and ARD all poked fun at NBC doing things like trying (and failing) to get the Parade of Nations order changed to English, delaying the U.S. broadcast by an hour, and airing commercials every three minutes.

hello fellow redditor

ABC/ESPN would probably not tape-delay (I bet the other networks would though), but I doubt it would be that much different otherwise honestly. Especially with the advertisements. People do like to pile on NBC and certainly I have my own qualms but when you pay billions for the rights to broadcast, you have to recoup that money some way. NBC had record ratings in 2012 for a reason. They have a model that works for the broad viewing audience.

 

ESPN would certainly come closest to making it back to a true sports vs. entertainment event for its audience but even it would continue a lot of NBC's traditions I'd wager. ESPN probably could provide a more stable/extensive digital outlet, though let's see how NBC holds up with its streaming offering in the coming days.

Channel Seven in AUS from what i heard, only showed a few ads during the ceremony. They are recouping it now though, with the Swans scoring a lot of goals in the Aussie Rules game they are showing now(listening to it via the ABC stream on the AFL web site)

I often wonder how FOX, CBS, or ABC would cover the Olympics nowadays. ABC especially because they have the entire ESPN family, along with Freeform if needed.

 

ESPN does not tape delay that often, they can use their platforms to deadicate to each different sport. NBC does the worse job, they are not really a sports network their biggest strength is news. That is why they focus so much on the storylines of the sport more then the sport itself. The best thing NBC has doing for them is the Olympics theme.
