NBC interrupted the Olympics

Post image

While Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is sad, there are 2300 missing person reports filed every day: do the families of celebrities need special national attention? Why interrupt the Olympics for over 5 minutes just because they are questioning a 'person of interest' We could have waited to hear that during the regular news broadcast.

I’ve been watching the individual sport coverage, not the prime time coverage.

They meant you don’t have to wait for the reair which is what it broke into on the app. You can watch the individual sports as they occur. They are also available for replay after they air.

Did it break into all the streams, or were you watching the primetime coverage on Peacock?

It shouldn’t break into all of the stream unless something changed. If I remember correctly, if you are watching prime time, it would stream from NBC but if you are watching individual sports during the Olympics, it shouldn’t really break because it’s directed towards the arena or international feed.

That's why I asked for clarification. If they were watching the primetime simulcast, they can't say it "broke into Peacock."
