I just returned Sunday evening from vacation (no TV, no high speed internet) and watched CBC (with partners ) cover live events from 7 pm to midnight. Including a great swim by 16 year old Penny Oleksiak to silver in the 100 fly.
As I watched the live coverage I kept thinking. .... you poor Americans stuck with NBC. Unsure if you guys can stream from cbc.ca or not but it's got lots of luce streams on my android app. On Sun, Aug 7, 2016, 11:27 PM David Lynch <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
