CTV Coverage of
the Olympics 2012 – Blah!
Ah
nuts! I climbed out of bed at 5 AM,
switched on the TV to see if I could catch the race that my nephew Zach Bell
was to be cycling in…! It was to be
taking place in London at 10 AM their time – meaning 5 AM Ontario time.
At
5:56 AM – for a total of about 30 seconds the wonderful CTV Network showed Zach
going around the indoor track at the Olympics.
No kidding – about 30 seconds.
Now there is coverage.
The
CTV coverage was of the women’s triathlon.
Well
I guess that is it for what they have to offer.
The
other alternative was to switch over to the TSN Network and try there. Nope –
not there. These folks are not out of bed on Saturday morning. They were
offering re-runs of the night before.
Well
Zach we are pulling for you and know you will do your best – win or not win.
The
letdown of not seeing what is going on in the other world is frustrating to say
the least. It is like being a little kid
again and looking through the legs or between the shoulders of adults standing
in front of you at a parade. No one
there cares if you can see or not.
But
hey that is life. And life this week is
all about having the eyes of all the world on the Olympics Games in London, England
– 2012. Parents and relatives from all over the world will be trying to catch
some news of what has happened in these games.
And
my bet is that everyone but a few will be frustrated with the way that the
games are being reported. It is not
about the sport many times it is about the way the men and women announcers try
to put their little spin on whatever.
The
one TSN announcers is a clown. I thought at first he was on ‘Wipe Out” TV show –
where almost intelligent people nearly kill themselves to have a few second of
fame (and win $50,000!). Simply he is
not funny and quips a lot about things that he sees as comical.
Sorry I don’t think that way. I just want to know what is happening –
that’s all.
Now backing up a little and stating that the re-runs of what is
happening now and what they present later will likely stretch me – over and
over again.
The answer was this morning – turn off the TV and move on. I will hear
about it later on I am sure.
There is life after the TV goes off and when the Olympics are over.
So get a Life – Lincoln! A
bright, sunny, hot day is in store for you today. What will you do with it?
Good Luck Zach Bell wherever you are and whatever you are doing.
