I watch the telecast from Canada.  They show the events as they happen not cut up for prime time viewing.

Since the time difference with Rio is only an hour difference (I'm assuming they meant Eastern time), most of this should be live.

For people like me, who don't want to watch the entire day, I prefer the Prime Time recap, especially if it's done well.  Bob Costas annoys me, I wish he'd retire with Matt.

But that's what fast forward is for.

I don't watch it all day either.  I haven't had it on in the last couple of days at all.  Canada does not have 1/4 the amount of commercials.  I would like to see the event not the recap.
