Why does the coverage have to start so late at night? You can pre-empt Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Please put figure skating on first and all together. I'm glad I have DVR so I can watch it at a reasonable hour and fast forward through all the commercials.
Because the US AND the world is on multiple time zones, the use of the DVR is a godsend! I wish I had had a DVR for viewing past Olympics. Having the schedules posted ahead is GREAT!

Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy is on a different channel... What good would changing them do???? wr>"
The coverage of the women's hockey game between the USA and Sweden on the USA network may be the worst of all time. The two announcer have spent twice as much time yaking about minor, ancillary factoids than they have describing the game! et someone who knows how to announce a hockey game
I do not recall having to deal with so many commercials during past Olympics coverage. This is the worst I have ever experienced having 3 hours of coverage with what has got to be over an hour of commercials. The DVR feature has made this palatable, but still very frustrating. showing the 30 minute celebration of the US Hockey team after beating Canada instead of final run of Bob Sled was ridiculous. Love Costas, but it stops there. One last thing could we blow off the ice Skating and show it at midnight so those who care can tape it.
