BBC 2012 - The Olympic Broadcaster

I'm sure we had an international thread but I can't find it so this will do - just to say a short showreal now up of NBC's visual design for the games.

An outline of what will be contained on the BBC blu-ray.

The IOC have handed out their medals for broadcasting, with the much criticised NBC getting Gold, the much praised BBC getting Silver and the much copyrighted Channel 9 getting Bronze.

NBC covered the Olympics better than the BBC? What?

Multiple awards on offer - NBC won three golds and a silver while the BBC won just one silver for it's Super Saturday coverage.

Utterly bizarre.

Rigged.

Paid for

I know we're all a bit biased, but my goodness . . . that really is unbelievable.

Mutual backslapping is the phrase, I believe.

Perhaps they could show their working.

Agreed. FIX! NBC were broadly criticised for their coverage by the public at large. Showing things delayed, revealing results before showing recorded events, inappropriate cuts to the opening and closing ceremonies, downplaying anything with no US interest. They did NOT deserve three golds.
