MUSIC IS TOO LOUD!
February 4, 2022

I'm watching the coverage on NBC and the music is so loud that I can't understand what the commentators are saying. Turn it down please.

... was terrible. Mike and Savanah were totally drowned out by the background sounds from the stadium announcers.

Curling
February 12, 2022

My favorite winter sport is curling. I am a long time fan, going back to when it was men in plaid pants who wore a Tam O'shanta and yes, they used brooms. There was also better TV coverage then vs. what you provide now.

I can only assume, yeah I know about assume. I watched Oscar and Felix also. I'm assuming that whoever is directing the curling broadcast, does not know curling.

If the sweepers or skip, or both are yelling directions, what good is an overhead camera shot that shows MAYBE 3 meters in front and often zooms in on only half the house. Sorry, but that's just pathetic. Remember 4 years to plan.

WHY do you not shoot lengthwise, so the viewer has a similar view to the players? That would enable the viewer to see the line and geat a better understanding of the contestants shouting directions.

Jason continually commenting on the contestants being miked so we can hear them talking strategy. However jason never shuts up so we can hear the contestants, talking about scraped knees when someone was 6. Absurd and quite contradictory.

Furthermore, when discussing the next critical shot instead of now doing an overhead shot you do butt and face shots. Never showing what they are planning. Your analysts do a nice job. Kevin is excellent.

On mulitiple occasions your viewers miss as many as 7 stones in an end because you can't record during your advertisements and show the whole contest?

Shift the stone count vertically to the side and show lengthwise shots.

Your non-USA team coverage is not listed as highlights only, but you do not show a complete competition. All it is is an opportunity to run tons of adverts. Shame on you.

The biathlon was chopped

You had four years to plan for this, four years, and people actually got together and were like: yeah, this is it, it's great? Do those people still have jobs? And you can't blame it on Covid, your product is TV, that's what you sell.

Back in day of those Tam O'Shantas there was a saying of " You've come a long way baby". Sad to say you have gone a long way baby. Backwards.

Commercials

I realize you must pay for coverage but seriously missing two skiers everytime! Tiny side of a split screen doesn't cut it. Jill

Come on, get your s*** together!
Commercials over riding the "LIVE" competition? What's up?
No wonder there are so many lousy reviews.

Shawn White Coverage

Am so disappointed in NBC coverage of mens half pipe snow boarding. Waiting from 7 p to 915p and he's coming right up. How ridiculous.
