What is everyone`s feelings about ESPN making a bid for the next summer and winter olympics ???
They want to air as much live programming as possible on ESPN and ESPN2. Alot of people are complaining about NBC showing time delayed stuff to viewers. I did read 400 hours of olympics coverage was online this year.
Only conflicts is college basketball and MLB fans wont get to see games during those time periods.

400 hours of delayed coverage was on NBC. The only things you could watch live online was curling and hockey. I hated watching NBC prime time and watching events from the day and "human interest" pieces all while watching live results pop up on my computer. If ESPN wants to show the actual sports live I pray that they get the contract.

Where are the next Olympic games? If it's in a time zone 12 hours away who cares if it's live. When the US won gold in hockey with the "Do you believe in miracles?" it was tape delayed. It did not hurt the drama if you didn't know the scores.

ESPN is owned by ABC. What other channels would they possibly have available to them? I don't think they'll be using the Disney channel or anything but I'm wondering if they'd have other options outside of ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNews/ESPNU/ESPN Classic.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

It was a good game but this game isn't gonna propel the NHL with more viewership.
The Olympics are about having pride for your country. Nothing more, nothing less. This includes hockey. If anything, they may have helped potential viewers for the next round of the Olympics, but not for hockey in general.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.
