lol, well Vancouver is just right across the border and it's the first time since Salt Lake that NBC will be able to air all events LIVE rather than pre-recorded and edited since we're in the same timezone. It's potentially a major money maker, and you can expect many more than usual to tune in for that warm-good feeling since we're in a recession. This pattern was already seen with the record breaking tv ratings for the Superbowl a few weeks ago.
Keep in mind that NBC paid $800-million for the 2010 tv rights, and is spending a further $100-million for operational expenses here in the city.
