At 10:15 p.m. they announced the 100 meter race would be coming up next. It was all sorts of other track & field events instead. I literally fell asleep sitting up after waiting 3+ hours to see the race broadcast. At least I was able to catch it - race only - on the morning news. Still missed out on all the background & post race broadcast. Grrrrrrrrr....
LOL....I know what you mean. I quit the local NBC station last year (but for different reasons.....I used to WORK there! Ha)
I knew exactly why they were doing it....though it was National NBC's decision and not local but still I wasn't happy about it
I read an article today that says the International Olympic Comittee stands behind NBC's decision to time delay and show it in prime time (of course they do...NBC paid them tons of money to air the olympics) hahaha
They then said that they had it streaming live for anyone who wanted to watch it live.
The problem with that is....I was all set to watch it at 4:50pm. I had the tv on and no race.....I did what I am now accustomed to doing when I want news...I went to Facebook LOL.....and I then saw ALL of the posts about who won. I was happy for the news, but sad that I missed it live.
I still waited up to watch it though

Wish it could have happened differently, but I enjoyed the end results either way!

Congrats to Jamaica....really great to see what all they have done in the olympics and to imagine the partying that is going on today....wish I could be a part of it
