Vincent Milou of France competes in Men’s Street Skateboarding during the Tokyo Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, on July 25, 2021.There are few cheering fans in the stands or proud parents beaming from the sidelines. Still, for viewers watching and streaming from home, are the 2020 Summer Olympics really that different as a viewing experience?
More effective perhaps, were preplanned video moments, such as when John Legend and Keith Urban joined the Suginami Children’s Choir singing “Imagine.” After so many live event programs such as the Oscars and Emmys banking similar content, pretaped segments are almost an expected part of TV’s new normal.As the Games began, there was some comfort in seeing CBC prime-time Olympic host Scott Russell kick things off by declaring that “there is no turning back now.
That feeling disappeared, however, as the game got tense with favoured Canada eventually gaining a 2-1 win. Helping was the terrific commentating team of Nigel Reed, Dr. Clare Rustad and Karina LeBlanc. For several non-arena events, these Games have carried on as if COVID was never a factor. Rowers competing along waterways are still darting in close camera range. The opening day men’s cycling event, featuring eventual fifth-place finisher Michael Woods, saw cyclists racing along twisted sections of road surrounded by camera cars, motorcycles and other vehicles.
I’m pretty sure the ratings are bad is because of the huge difference of time zones. You literally have to work independently or have no regular 9-5 to watch the games
They are down because the network has lost its reason to be.
yeah people dont watch live tv any more
