The thing that bothers me more and more as time goes on and social media becomes more ubiquitous is that I can see people commenting on events that are airing live on the BBC and CBC but won't air on NBC until prime time. I don't object to the concept of prime time being a heavily-edited compilation of the most TV-friendly events but I wish they didn't hold back on airing those events live when they aren't in prime time, especially since the online streams are somewhat difficult to find and navigate when all of a day's events in a single sport are lumped together into a single hours-long video.
