NBC Olympics

Considering the phase of existence we have been passing through, it is a pleasure to see others of us giving their best effort at what they love. We probably all should try some of that.
On a little of a down side, I do wish people responsible for the graphics in sport broadcasting were better trained in color, contrast and font sizing. My eyes are three times older than the athletes I watch

Have always watched and enjoyed the olympics. This year after the disgraceful kneeling by US Women's Soccer I refused to watch any Olympic competitions (not one).
You are to represent your country not yourself.

With all the modern technology, why can't you identify the competitor and their country on the screen? Why all the same commercials over and over? I looked up the time Shawn White was running half pipe qualifying last nite and the NBC schedule said 11:30. It was after midnight by the time he finished his first run. It was one competitor five commercials — we turned it off and would check the news in the am for his second run. Really negative feeling towards advertisers and NBC's greed which force that on all of us wanting to be proud Americans watching the Olympics.

Such an annoying experience. Hosts are talking and talking, repeating themselves, and repeating old episodes a hundredth time. Just filling the time. As an example, a closing ceremony is supposed to be shown at 7 pm CST, it's already 7:30, and nothing but blah-blah from their studio. No wonder nobody in the USA are watching Olympic games. Bad bad coverage.

I can't believe NBC runs commercials on half the screen with athletes performing on the other side with no sound for the athletes just sound for the commercial. The number of normal commercial breaks is beyond ridiculous but these athletes deserve to be seen on the full screen. NBC puts the good old mighty dollar before the athletes and viewers. I now refuse to watch NBC coverage due to this and only stream it. Also stop giving so much time to figure skating. People 50 and under have moved on to the half pipe and snow boarding and other more modern sports. Get with the times. Ice skating stopped being one of the most popular sports 15 years ago. It's a grandma sport in this day and age.

She's awful and I don't care about color or sex but picking a black woman to make a woke statement is hilarious and ridiculous especially when she is horrible. Should have followed MLK, judged by the level of their talent and not the color of their skin. And you wonder why ratings are awful? Just watch for a few minutes and it becomes apparent.

If you didn't send an American citizen to announce the games because of boycotting China surely you could have found someone other than the lady with an English accent. She talks quickly and with her accent is VERY difficult to understand. I am not enjoying the broadcasts at all. I give you a 1 out of 10 rating.

The NBC coverage of the water sports have been the worst I have ever seen. Artistic Swimming commentator was awlful and she was calling some of these amazing feats with some being "radical" because it wasnt ballet music. What a disappointment! These young women should be praised for such amazing artistry. She needs to be replaced, just stop talking or just tone it down!
The numerous commercial breaks are nauseous. Then when they cut and say they will give you the score after the commercial, they don't on many! Pathetic! Not pleased NBC. Do better and tell your commentators to hush and stick to the sport and tone down the hideous commercials that continue to interrupt the enjoyment of the Olympics.

This is the worst coverage of any Olympic Games I have ever seen. Not only were most of the sports not available through any thing the the horrible Peacock app ( that took 2 min to load and I have very fast bandwidth) but there were more commercials than content- and no way to forward through the highly repetitive commercials
At one point I made a list of the repeated commercials and am planning on boycotting those products for at least a year. Commentaries were inane and in informative. Really NBC, we're you even trying?

What a bunch of nasty, condescending, arrogant comments. Is it impossible to find a straight man instead ot the catty queens that are disgusting. Don't get me wrong, I'm gay myself, but, I find their commentary dreadful... like a couple of prancing queens with delusions of knowing all. No wonder I hate watching this travesty. Hail Hail Olympics... let's torture more Uighurs... sort of like Hitler's Olympics. What a disgrace

Lame coverage - especially if you watch anything On Demand relegated to Peacock. But even live when they split the screen to show commercials and you cannot really tell what's going on or see the scores in the smaller window. NBC should NOT play commercials at the same time as coverage. Too many commercials, too. Very disappointing NBC.

Coverage riddled with ads at the most inopportune times. Split screens for ads combined with long wait times for scores and dead air have made these games unwatchable. Too bad as the athletes are so exciting, but the coverage is horrendous. Maybe viewers will get lucky and see the olympics mover to a network that can manage them.

Not able to hear music during skating events. Very low and background noise is apparent. Last evening 2/9 the mens free skate music was almost not there. This has been continuous. Background sounds including breathing and someone tapping pencil/pen during skating.
Terrible sound which was the same during team competition.
Who is responsible for sound quality.
TERRIBLE!

The fact I am Up at 1:40am trying to watch the olympics and I can Watch 1 event actually live on 6 channels is an atrocity. This coverage is absolute garbage. We know time zones, show the games outside of that is just calling us imbeciles.

I have watched gymnastics my entire life. Have never seen coverage where a commentator talked so much about herself. Who gives a crap about what the announcer is wearing. I don't even understand this level of narcissism. Nastia. It's not about you.

Not as much sports coverage as sports interference. Inane filler between events. Split screens with commercials on 2/3 of the screen and ongoing competition on 1/3? Outrageous! Can only be watched by recording so you can fast forward theough the junk.

So many ads during the opening and closing ceremony. Why can't we just watch all the countries in the parade without missing some of them due to ads. Even the split screen ads didn't help that I'd rather mute my TV during those sections.

Skateboarding had awesome commentators but I had to switch from the TV coverage to the internet stream/replay because of ads skipping some skaters. Same for events like BMX park.

They really trying to indoctrinate people with the amount of ads they show. I wasn't getting watching the Olympics. I was watching a bunch of ads with some Olympics on the side.

I love the olympics and paid for cable solely to be able to stream the olympics this year. For the track and field, the early morning sessions replay perfectly yet the afternoon sessions continuously stall and start over. I have yet to get past the 9 minute mark on either day 1 or day 2 of the track and field afternoon sessions. =(

Update 2 days later. Now it's all of the streams. I figured out that it's the commercial breaks. On rare occasion, the commercial breaks are embedded and flow flawlessly. But for every other stream, they take you to a separate timing for the ads and then it fails after the ads each time. Just so disappointing that a big-time organization like NBC can't figure out how to make this work...

As a pationent winter olympics fan, having watched for 50 years. I am dismayed at this poorly produced broadcast. English speaking Commentators, whose accents are difficult to decipher, Broadcasters & coverage being cutoff for commercials. Cameras not catching snowboarders or skiers complete Ariel jumps. I am not alone, in this opinion, as majority of people, that I know who tuned in, share the same opinions.

Everything was going just great until you bring out the odd ball Wier. He is a disgrace to the other commentators who have something to contribute in a professional way. Could be part of the reason your ratings were so low. He is disgusting! He is even an embarrassment to the homosexual community.

The fact you have 2 sets of commentators for the figure skating is ridiculous. Especially the woman who talks the whole way through. "Now she's doing crossovers. Now she did a jump. She's wearing a dress with lots of sequence. Her hair is in a bun with a colorful clip." It is so asinine, having this woman talking over Terry, Tara and Johnny to the point where they each cancel each other out. Then I turned to the snowboarding and you have a guy doing the same irritating thing. If I continue watch at all, I'll do it with the sound on mute.

I turned the sound off while watching the Olympics due to the talking heads nasty narrative pointed at the 2 countries athletes the USA is fighting with now. The USA has committed atrocities against many groups of peoples. The Olympics is a place where people gather to compete peacefully. Some of your announcers ruined that NBC.

Rebroadcasts and Repeats. Split screen commercials so you can't hear commentators let alone able to see a competitor's score. I am going to scratch NBC off of my viewing list. The want you to pay for Peacock. I would have given zero stars if I could have. This has to be a complete embarrassment for NBC. Couldn't even follow the schedule of what order events would be on. Just horrible!
