The Olympics on TV: confusing

PEORIA -- You would think that NBC could do a good job of reporting the schedule of Olympic events.   Instead it's a confusing mess.

I like the equestrian events, and want to watch them on the big screen.  Good luck with that. 

The events are reported in huge blocks of time, not great for recording.  And the schedule in the PJS is not accurate. 

The jumping competion is supposed to be today on NBC, reportedly after the cycling final. It says nothing about the water polo, the kayak races and other events taking place.  So will the lovely horses be televised? Who knows. My DVR is running but perhaps for nothing.

Then there are the stupid interviews, the endless ceremonies, and even features on London, interesting but not related to the Olympics.  Why have all that?

Come on NBC, you can do better. Can't you?

I agree, the olympics is a worldwide event where millions upon millions of viewers tune in to watch. The least they could do instead of spending billions of dollars on commercial sponsoring, to maybe care about the actual consumers viewing the event whether it be for nationalism or just for the fun of the sport.
