Having moved to Canada a few years ago and after pathetic TV coverage here of the last winter Olympics I vowed never to waste my time trying to watch it…. and with good reason. So with so many events happening every day, the TV stations give hardly any coverage to the action. Here is an idea, how about showing us the action now, you can talk all you like for next 3 years 10 months till the next summer Olympics. So many events, so many countries, and whats covered…. well very little actually. But hey we have plenty of time for some interviews and some idle chat.
If I had the money to start I would say bring a new TV channel online specially for the Olympics only. People pay to subscribe, commercials are allowed between events…. just lots and lots of coverage of the events. If the channel makes money, put it to a fund to pay for Athletes to travel to the next games. It saddens me that the Olympics is one big money grab by the Olympic committee… Yet the Athletes… the ones who are the whole point of this, have to raise money to even pay for damn flights to from the country… its a bloody joke!
