I posted this on the very inactive Canadian Masters Swimming Site and I'm still MAD:frustrated:

static.atlanticmasters.org/.../icon_quote.gifstatic.atlanticmasters.org/.../icon_edit.gifstatic.atlanticmasters.org/.../icon_delete.gif The CBC is robbing us (Canadian TaxPayers) blind.
A whole team of anchors and reporters in Melbourne for the WORLD CHampionships. Today at 7:30pm they air their show. 30 minutes of time wasted on interviews, views of Melbourne and talk. They show the full women's 200 IM but only the last 50m of the men's 400m Free final and not even the last 25m of the women's 400m Free final, then some diving (which was last week. "Hello!") then some more swimming.
This is absolutely ridiculous........ I am fuming.
We 'mercans feel your pain. Any coverage of running or swimming on network tv (if it ever, ever happens) is a version of "People Mag," travelogue, and oh yeah, a few clips of the sport before fading to a commercial.
I just finished watching three hours of coverage on Fox Sports net. If you've got cable or sattelite TV you should look for listings on Fox. We had it on the west coast at 3 PM, looks like tomorrows coverage will start at 4 PM our time. Great coverage, not one bit of fluff, just swimming!
