Our Opinions Matter

NBC...King of the "Tape Delay" announces Apollo 11 has landed on the Moon. Coverage in prime time starts at 8:00PM EST.

I live on the West Coast for TV purposes and NBC seems to think they can delay us broadcasts of "LIVE" events shown for the East Coast. Gathered around the TV Sunday night to watch Michael Phelps chase his pursuit for 8 Gold metals my sons made their case to me not to miss the race. More than once might I add. But all I saw in our west coast time slot were 10-year old Chinese gymnasts. I could see it if they were showing American gymnasts, but who the hell really cares about the rest of the putrid world. I wanted to see the race. So instead I did what any modern well informed American would do given today's technology...I checked the Internet and sure enough ESPN had what I wanted. It was called one on the great races of all-time and because I live on the left coast, I missed seeing it live. Had to wait to see replays Monday
Do you think NBC forgot Al Gore invented something called the Internet? It's full of great info... Like Olympic Results in Real Time.
I do have one thing suggestion for NBC to tape delay...McCain vs Obama. Let me know say in ten or twenty years.
