Stop calling King-TV; it's not their fault the Olympics are delayed and you already know the results. Call the network.
It's a frustration all of us Olympic fans feel every four years. The competition ends at noon and you don't see it until eight hours later.
The difference in 2010 is we all have Twitter and the web. The results are available instantly.
King-TV General Manager Ray Heacox says NBC has to base its decision on when the most amount of people are in front of the TV. "The feeling really comes down to you risk the live portion of it in order to make it available when the most people are available to see it. There is a trade off, there's not doubt about it."
King-TV had been getting so many complaints that it put out a release saying it's not their decision to make.
Good news Tuesday: The men's hockey game against Switzerland is live on USA Network, same with the curling, but you'll have to wait to watch the men's 12 1/2 kilometer biathalon.
