Time Warner has also temporarily added USA HD, giving us four HD networks for the Olympics. Sweet.
The scheduling in blocks has always been an Olympic programming touch. While it certainly would be nice if the blocks where more specific and spliced up differently, but these are live sporting events and the schedules routinely get all shot to hell pretty quickly. Plus, unless you're awak in the middle of the night, all ove the coverage is going to be time delayed and edited so that an event that took an hour or two will take like four hours in editing.
Swimming is going to be the star event of these games since they are essentially the only events that will take place live in U.S. prime time.
