Although what I might have mentioned: TV Guide gave no indication on which events were airing in which block. Each listing for a block of Olympics coverage only pointed to the "OIympics Guide" near the front of the weekly listings, and that guide only included one listing per day with only the major potential events that would be taking place at some point during the day. (ABC's weekday blocks were 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M., 4:00 P.M. to 5:30 P.M., 7:00 P.M. to midnight, and 12:30 A.M. to 2:00 A.M.) In the issue I mentioned, there was a pull-out Olympics guide-slash-ad for Minute Maid which actually gave more information than TV Guide's editorial data, since it included a grid that, for each separate block of coverage, listed every sport that was potentially "available for coverage" (although no more specific than "basketball (w)," "boxing (m)," etc.). -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv/> -- TV or Not TV ....
