[OLY] Winter Olympics 2026, Milano/Cortina d'Ampezzo

I'd really like to thank the Peacock network for spoiling the first game result (which was inevitable I guess) on the splash page.

Also I know I know, and having skated myself I know it looks a lot different on the ice but talk about kit clash with USA/SVK.
 
Sheesh, I know it was 15 years ago but I totally forgot (if I was even aware) that Pavol Demitra was in that KHL plane crash that killed the entire team in 2011.

Not gonna lie...I have not been a huge fan of the coverage on NBC, and this might largely be due to the fact that I do not have a subscription to Peacock. But, I shouldn't HAVE to switch back and forth between NBC and Peacock in order to watch a full event. I don't know how it was with both hockey games today, but it annoyed me to see 30-minute coverage windows on my TV guide for a lot of the events that were then moved over to Peacock to conclude.

In addition to not having a subscription to Peacock, another (likely) reason for me not being a huge fan is the fact that I like to set my DVR to record stuff (especially the ones that come on during the day, or overnight). Realizing that a lot of the events ONLY received a whopping 30 minutes of coverage, and the rest of the 90 minute recording was something I had very little to no interest in watching was quite annoying, to say the very least.

It's really great with Peacock which I've had forever but it was even better when they just had it all available on demand as part of a regular cable subscription. The fact that I've had two incredibly busy weeks along with the time difference has made it so I am almost always watching events on demand though and I do feel like the best part of the games is watching the live jump around mode and discovering something neat I'd never have watched otherwise.

Don't get me wrong, this is one of my favorite aspects of both the Summer AND Winter Olympics. I absolutely find the greatest joy and form of enjoyment/entertainment when watching those events that aren't predominately featured during primetime coverage. But, I remember a time when those events were shown during the day on other networks (i.e. USA, MSNBC, CNBC), and they were largely shown in their entirety. My DVR used to hate me with a passion those years because I used to go a bit crazy and record so many events!

Not saying that my DVR doesn't hate me these days (especially during the Olympics)...:p:p:p
