Re all of the tidbits of discussion that I bumped to the end of this
article. I realize I am getting off track with the purpose of r.s.o,
but it would help if I could hear a final decision on whether or not
it is ok for me to post stuff from Clari.sports.olympics, such as the
event times.  I DO NOT WANT THIS TO TURN INTO A DISCUSSION ON
COPYRIGHTING.  Please respond via email (to avoid the previous
statement), and I will post the verdict, and depending on that maybe
also the updated event times.

Maybe someone can suggest a newsgroup I could post this question to?

Thanks,
Rachele

Boring or not, it would be impossible to show ALL the medal ceremonies,
as some people have indicated that they would like.  It's still early
in the games, and yesterday 17 gold medals were given out.  At about ten
minutes per ceremony, it would have taken 170 minutes to show them
all -- obviously much too much time.  During the last few days, when 
there will be lots of finals, there will be probably be around 30 
medal ceremonies each day.

As I remember, in international VBall, don't they play "rally" points in the
5th set, where every serve leads to a point???  I know this was the case
in the World League, but isn't it the same in Olympic VBall...

Are there many Americans out there who would like to see a medal
ceremony where an American athlete gets a silver or bronze medal,
where US flag is not at the top?  Maybe just a few seconds?

I wonder whether or not NBC's practice of not showing athlets from
other countries in medal ceremonies and not showing any footages of
medal ceremonies where Americans are not gold medallists (probably
with a couple of exceptions) really reflects the preference of most
American audience.

Just curious.

It certainly is old enough to be in the public domain.  It was used for
the presentation of the colors by Napoleon's Imperial Guard.  That makes it
1815 at the latest.  It probably also has a French name, though I can't
recall it.  It was on a recording of French Imperial marches put out by
Nonesuch some time before ABC used it.

Yes,  I was wondering about that myself.     I suppose it just caught
the gas fumes on fire which light the whole thing.

Date: 30 Jul 92 16:08:23 GMT
Distribution: na
Organization: HMS

Big news from PPV front,good news if you have cable and your company
carries CNBC(NBC's ConsumerNewsBusinessChannel) :

Here is the deal(most of it is from our wire service machine we have in
our office) :

NBC announced last night that its costly and lightly bought Olympic
venture will no longer be strictly pay-per-view.

The Red,White, and Blue channels will be thrown onto CNBC,the Peacock's
cable financial channel,from 6pm-to-10pm tomorrow and Friday nights
and from 1-to-4am early Friday morning. Saturday will have the same
schedule(6-10pm,1-to-4am).

All are repeat or "encore" hours and get this : The screen will be divided
into quarters(Ooopee!) - one for each TC channel and the other for graphics.
Which means CNBC viewers will be lucky to distinguish ANYTHING. And there'll
be no sound.

The idea is to give CNBC's 47-million-home-reach an idea of comprehensive
TC coverage,which is live from 5am-to-5pm.

Pretty bad news on the sales front as far as NBC Cable and Cablevision go:
The sales are very dreadful. The final figure is 250,000 which way short
of 2 million that were sought. Many cable systems have not even reached
a buy-rate of one-half of 1%.

Desperation surfaced with two other moves : NBC cut the suggested retail
price from $29.95 to $19.95 for any one day. And NBC is running a weekend
speacial(sorry for sounding like a rental car offer) for two days a viewer
pays $29.95. Actually,the last offer is pretty weak considering that 
NBC's 'free' weekend coverage is pretty loaded with day-time,evening
and late-night slate.
In Boston,the discounted rate will actually be selling for $14.95. If
it goes down to $9.95 by next weekend, I might purchase the Olympic
Soccer Final Game(oops,I can fear flames coming my way. I'm putting on
my asbestos suit :-).

Earlier yesterday,NBC sent out a press release saying CNBC would get 1pm-
2:30pm afternoon airplays the next two days(Friday and Saturday). But
I guess some deep thinker realized that's in the middle of the business
day,the channel's supposed major focus, and $125 TC buyers would scream
over the giveaways of live coverage. So a quick correction was released.

I bet that with some 'freebies'(CNBC's replays,discounted rates) as a
result of NBC desperation, expensive package purchasers are likely
peeved anyway.

o I finally sit down to watch the *show* at 10:30pm. We on the
  US west coast get to see the tapes after half the world has seen
them.. but I digress. Womens cycling..road race..looks like fun.
The commentators are doing a good job [in between the commercials]
of explaining things like pelaton and break-away and stuff. The
country-side looks nice, the race close, and we are getting into the
final lap. After an insert on a Dutch girl who posed for Penthouse
[thats the only way a non-US athlete can get on the dumb 'human  
interest' stories], an aussie girl just made a break-away, and
the pack is figuring out who is gonna chase her down, "we will
be right back with the finish"..commercial..commercial.. 
commercial..race? no! 'Dick Enberg's Moments'! Who the
@#$%^&*($%^$^$& cares! I wanna see the damn race.. After some
of the usual banter and happy-talk with Costas.. race? no! local news
[whose 'lead' stories tend to be on a small girl looking for a
lost puppy or cat or whatever] for half-an-hour! Furious fit..
and I have to get out for a jog.. saw the final result of the race
the next day buried deep inside the LATimes Sports section. The 
aussie won. And they still have 20.0 ratings.. unbelievable.

o Swimming.. men in water.. trying to outrace each other. fun stuff.
  A relay race at that.. guys jumping in and out of the pool. The US
comes in 3rd.. bronze medal.. not bad at all. The swimmers tried
their darndest.. close-ups on the US team patting each other. Sure
they wanted the gold, they got A medal though.. the commentator is
whining and lamenting on the lines that the swimmers' lives were 
destroyed forever by not winning the gold.. and he closes with 
a 'By the way, the Unified team set a World Record'.

o Dream team.. 1/3 of the team doesn't show up for the opening
  ceremony.. GoodNightNow.

o I don't know.. somehow I can't seem to get enthused about sports
  where a panel of judges sit there and decide [subjectively] who
gets the gold, silver, and bronze.

o Wished they showed some football, and field-hockey. Can't wait
  for some track-and-field to start.
