I think that CBS or ABC should also cover the Olympics. Some people don't get NBC and I was looking forward to watching the Olympics. I would be very pleased if CBS or ABC could cover the Olympics.

Thank you for typing up a schedule. I couldn't find it any where else. On the 21st it's missing a station to watch it at. Nothing was posted for the 10th.
Thanks so much!

I wish that the TV coverage was much more extensive. Seems like the horse events are always shorted in coverage.
