I thought Comcast just upped the amount of NBC ownership they. You would think they would have any NBC channel on its list.

Nope. Per Universal satanic Sports.

NBC Universal and Comcast own a non-controlling minority share in Universal Sports and we operate independent of them. We are not considered a NBC Channel. This is why we negotiate with distributors like Comcast as any other network

I'm getting my fix on Eurosport. Finally figured out how to record it on a timed basis.

Thank god for Canadian TV , saw Innerhofer's FH win today , smoooothe !! Tomorrow the slalom on CAnadian TV , the "Canucks " love skiing . It is a staple on their networks each WC season .

How about the Spaniard who took 1st over the favorites in the Ladies' DH. A shocker just like Mikaela last week. Turning out to be an eventful season all around. With LV out of contention it really opened up things.

The British announcers were not on all the races - there was some overlap. I actually missed them. They pickup things that never would have even occurred to me.

You know, I've never been a fan of Slalom, but I'm warming to it. It's really hard to follow the technique.

Nick Fellows more about WC skiing, the racers, the technical aspects, strategy and an all around good understanding of the race circuit than from any other announcer. He knows so much and can communicate it clearly prompting. The only thing you see him pull up is cards for the athletes. Until now, most of the announcers have provided very little value add; I turn the volume down for them. I miss when Nick's not on board.

Looking forward to the DH on Wednesday. Only a few days left. Then it's over to the NorAms, trying to record all this this while I'm out on the hill.
