I got his email address from <a href="http://deadspin.com/5473084/still-angry-about-nbcs-olympic-coverage-send-an-email-to-dick-ebersol" rel="nofollow">this deadspin post</a>. I also left feedback on the website, and got a canned response. Alas.<br /><br />Although there's a lot of anger online (check out the <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23nbcfail" rel="nofollow">#nbcfail</a> tag on twitter), it may be a vocal minority. Apparently ratings are sky-high, despite the tape delay.<br /><br />I just worry about the gold medal hockey game. It'll be on NBC on Sunday -- does that mean it'll be tape-delayed on the West Coast? No one has an answer for me!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01017592382822991635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295233997197235209.post-72962090695566585442010-02-23T08:57:02.108-08:002010-02-23T08:57:02.108-08:00Did you hear anything back from Dick?

I guessed at his email address (same one you used) and didn't get a bounce-back, but also got nothing to confirm the address is correct.<br /><br /><br />Feedback to NBC:<br />Unlike many of the complaints you have probably received, I actually like the fluff. I like the athlete back stories, and I like Bob Costas’ commentary. I like this content, however, as filler. I don’t want to watch this instead of the events. And I certainly don’t want to watch the events AFTER the results have been announced. Especially since the events are taking place 163 miles from my house. By the way, did you show this just to infuriate those of us in Seattle who are so close, but yet so far from seeing the events live? <br /><br />Every time I see that tape delay message on the bottom of my screen when the program starts, all I can think about is how little NBC cares about the viewers in the Pacific time zone. I honestly can’t believe that in the year 2010 where information is available constantly, NBC would even contemplate not delivering the Olympics real-time in the time zone in which they are occurring. I just don’t get it. And I have to believe there is someone at NBC that realizes this huge mistake. There is still time to fix it. Please fix it.Sharm206https://www.blogger.com/profile/10941715186847301608noreply@blogger.com
