Topic | Olympics ratings hit rock bottom, about half as many viewers as 2016 |
Perfectinsanity 08/08/21 7:34:38 AM #40: | This is the only time in my life that I wasn't glued to a screen taking in as much Olympics content as I could. I can point to two reasons; the first is the time difference, which normally hasn't been a huge issue for me before, but this time it's tied in with the second reason; fucking NBC. They spread the content out so goddamn much, and parts of it are largely inaccessible. I have Sling TV (USA, NBC Sports, Olympics Channel), Locast (NBC), and Peacock (goddamn NBC's own streaming service); I should be able to watch whatever I want, whenever I want. That just isn't the case. I'm a huge fan of the combat sports (TKD, wrestling, judo, boxing) and not a single event, from qualifiers to medal matches, are available for replay on any app. Other sports that I like to watch, like the team sports, didn't have replays available until sometime DAYS after the event...by that time I already know the result and won't bother watching unless something incredible happens. Another thing that I generally enjoy is watching the primetime recap for some of the less played sports (badminton, archery, etc.), and I just found this years presentations annoying, and lacking in any of the things that I wanted to see. I watched maybe 6 total hours of the Olympics this year, and that really sucks. --- Those who live are those who fight. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
