- #NBCFail: if they're going to run on tape delay due to time zone difference, say so and don't pretend their live - Time difference, what do you do?: Air live, wait for prime time, multi-channels/platforms, all events streamed live online (no context), NBC chooses what to air on TV live, save for prime time - Why prime time?: NBC says when most viewers can watch, where bulk of advertising dollars are (no events live in London during US prime time) - Ratings: opening ceremony (not aired live) drew >40 million (most ever for opening ceremony); down in 2016, 1st 3 days averaged 36 million (biggest for 1st wknd in history), Compromise? Air big events live on TV and replay @ night
