[TV orNotTV] Two Olympic Coverage Items
NBC will not stream the opening ceremony live (even though the event will start at 11 AM ET), holding it for prime time: http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/nbc-wont-live-stream-winter-olympics-opening-ceremonies-1201034728/ Nancy Kerrigan will be an analyst for figure skating and involved what's being called a documentary on the events of 20 years with Mary Carillo, her first comments since the event: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nbc-taps-nancy-kerrigan-as-668991 Sidebar: I did not watch the Women's Long Program on CBS that night. Instead, we listened live on CBS Radio with Mark Champion on the call. It was infinitely better listening to him try to describe what the hell Tonya Harding was doing (if you forgot, she was sobbing because she had a skate problem and was pleading with the judges for time to repair it, which was denied) Bonus sidebar: While the shell of Cobo Arena (where the attack occurred) remains, they've converted it into an extension of the convention center it's attached to. Sadly, they chose not to put a commemorative plaque at the spot. -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

Heck, I bet you could even get Tonya Harding to participate for the price of a hot meal and a chance to be on TV. -- Ed Dravecky III WhoFest 2 - April 2015 - http://www.whofestdfw.org/ -- -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People!

For those too young to recall the saga, Comedy Central's short film Spunk starring Tina Yothers is a good primer. http://youtu.be/GQXazQ_pIC0 On Thu, Jan 9, 2014 at 1:15 PM, Ed Dravecky drave...@gmail.com wrote: Joe Hass hassgoc...@gmail.com wrote: Bonus sidebar: While the shell of Cobo Arena (where the attack occurred) remains, they've converted it into an extension of the convention center it's attached to.
