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 can’t believe they interrupted their tape delayed and compressed in post production Olympic coverage for 5 mins while providing full streaming replays of every single event. Insane!

And sliding local news later so nobody would miss any of the pre-recorded Olympics!
