I’m really annoyed that we won’t be able to watch the Canadian feed. Some other network got the contract and nobody outside of Bellingham carries it.
Stuck with NBC.

Candles are lit up in commemoration of late Nodar Kumaritashvili of Georgia at the Whistler medal plaza ahead of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics in Whistler, British Columbia, February 12, 2010. Kumaritashvili, a 21-year-old Georgian luger, died in a horrific crash on a training run on Friday, casting a pall over the Winter Olympics hours before the Games were to be declared open. Kumaritashvili slammed into a pillar at 90 mph after being thrown off the sled as it bounced over the rim on the 16th and final bend of the lightning fast track at the Whistler Sliding Centre.

Why on earth are they showing footage of that Georgian luger’s final moments?? It’s all over our local news in Lost Angeles and on the national news also. It feels so inappropriate. And disrespectful to the deceased, his teammates, and his loved ones.

Change the subject so no on focuses on the real problem. The federal and state gov'ts are dysfunctional.

Very disrespectful. I can not believe that it is on the NBC website, for all to view! Low class liberals

Pretty somber.

Arizona, too. I absolutely couldn't stand whoever it was interviewing the American half-pipe ladies. Two had previously won the Gold and the third had won a Silver. He must have asked about the Gold and did the other won feel badly, did her teammates give her a rough time, etc, at least ten times. These reporters are really ignorant.

Yea, what's with that?
I mean are Jeopardy and Family Feud that important?

Those days are gone....wonderful government changing to digital and forcing people to have local channels, when we wouldn’t mind having a new york or LA channel...but no. There has to be some stupid law to screw it up! There are wavers and a 45 day wait to get a broadcast channel on directv. I should switch to dish I guess, but that won’t help me tonite....sigh......
