Hi Anne,

It is CTV that got the Olympics this year.

Canada just won Gold in the Men's Moguls! First time for us, Alexandre
Biladeau just broke the jinx for us!!

Are you enjoying the opening ceremonies tonight? Haven't heard from me
for awhile but this is my home town.

I should have asked sooner is anyone from RTCQ coming to visit?

Ironic that I just read a message about how getting the results on the
internet takes the glow out of watching the events on t.v.....and the men's
mogul competition is on right now, as I type this! And they just said how
poor the Canadians' chances were. Somehow, I think they are wrong about
that....! LOL

Sorry about that, but as I live in the time zone it is happening I couldn't
resist. Then I went back and watch the NBC channel and saw they had not
shown it.

Check out www.ctv.ca for up to the time results.

The only people who are seeing it live in the US are those on the East
Coast, I believe. It's ridiculous.

It's crazy, it was the same with the summer olympics, which was even
more annoying because the morning session events were perfect for
evening watching on the west coast and then they'd put is three hours
later and have it in the middle of the night for everyone! I just don't
have the discipline to not look at the results on the internet when they
are actually happening, then there doesn't seem much point watching the
whole event, I just pick what I want to watch from the internet.

We do at least have one solution here, we can get CBC, who show
everything live, seems a lot of people around here use that, but I don't
know how far access to CBC extends.

Cheers

We don't get CBC...or rather, we would, if we wanted a new 1 year
contract and to pay an extra $30 a month to Comcast....I just don't
think so.

Oh, yeah, and we don't get CTV here at all. Sigh. That's ok, at least
I can pretend to suspend my disbelief for a couple of weeks.

The Olympics are on?

Hey, didn't they just have that? In China or somewhere? I thought it was
only held every 10 years or something.

Every 4 years, and these are the Winter Olympics, help somewhere in the
gaps between the main ones...

So far I've managed to avoid all of it.

They have no excuse to do this to us!

I'm going to have to ask DH how we get CBC, I know we could at the time
of the Beijing Olympics, but I don't know which channel we have to tune
in to to get it, but I know you can get it in Seattle, not sure about
Tacoma, though, Jenn, sorry.

Anne

I too live on the border (or 40 miles away) on the canadian side. My
cable in its many variations over the last 50 years had always had the
Toronto and the Buffalo stations. Now it's much bigger. CTV is the
main broadcaster in Canada for this olympics... nanc

Congrats on the Gold! From time to time DH and I consider packing up
and moving to Canada. Someplace remote and lovely. Then we remember
that DH has to earn a living. Sigh.

Sunny
Go Canada!
