NBC is broadcasting the Winter Olympics. Maybe this will be their chance to earn some market share when compared to their usual pathetic lineup.

We're seeing some preparatory spots here in the Midwest and I'm sure it will increase as we get closer to Feb. 10.

I'm looking forward to the games. I just hope the network doesn't keep resending the same highlights over and over. Also, as I recall from previous broadcasts the only award ceremonies shown were the ones where American's won gold medals. I don't think this is nationalistic as much as sophomoric.
