Alright, i've got a little beef with the CBC and TSN. Nothing major, just something incredibly simple that would probably make olympic viewers all over Canada a little bit happier. At all times they should have a little icon somewhere that says whether what you are watching is taped, or live. It should always be on the screen, and not just pop up every now and again. I don't know how many times i've been watching something I thought to be live, only to find out that it was taped. In most of these cases i know what the outcome will be, but because i don't see one of said icons, i presume this to be another event.
Come to think of it, this is probably why the icon isn't on the screen, the more viewers that think they are watching something new, the less ratings would drop, and hence they can charge more for commercial space and the like. Still though, i think that 'viewer satisfaction' should come first, and therefore CBC and TSN should cut us viewers some slack, and take two minutes to program the graphic.
I haven't really been up to anything myself, i always tend to be glued to the screen during the winter olympics ( I really prefer them to the summer games, the events look to be a lot more fun, bobsleigh rules! ).
Anyway, I've got some Calculus homework to do, and 10:30 seems to be about the start of my 'able to think' time of night (odd, its also the time that i usually finish work) I'd better get started on it.
Peace out,
