NBC frustrates American Viewers

Well, looks like I was not alone in my frustrations against the NBC. Judging by the crazy traffic this blog has been getting, track and field lovers were keen to view the 100m final. NBC failed miserably in satisfying its viewers. However, I am sure it satisfied its advertisers with the viewership that saw Phelps break Mark Spitz's record. Washington post has an interesting take on the NBC coverage.

Michael Phelps who? In what is probably the greatest moment in this Olympics, Usain Bolt of Jamaica won gold 100m dash in 9.69 seconds, a new world record...and he didn't even have to try after the first half of the race. But you wouldn't know it if you were here in U.S...well, if you were not online actively searching for a video clip of it.

Bottom-line is, unfortunately, those who care enough about NBC's handling of the today's fiasco may be in the minority. After all, who cares about a Jamaican prodigy who just became the fastest man alive!
