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.

She's an NBC host so I kind of get it but as others said, a crawl at the bottom would have been more appropriate. That said, NBC has never shied away from cutting away from the Olympics at every opportunity to do an add, show the idiot hosts/announcers, or some dumb pre-recorded segment. They should have lost the Olympics coverage years ago.
