Not again NBC!

Are they kidding? You have Murray playing live along with Djokovic/Haas, and you are showing a finished Federer match from the start? Are they retarded?

 

[2PLAYSMAX]

Yeah...pretty pathetic. I can't understand why they think any true tennis fans would want to watch a match that has already been completed with other live competitive matches in progress.

 

[terps1313]

It just blows my mind. Wasn't there big time complaining about this during the French? When will they learn?

 

[ramonscottsports]

just watch the matches on channelsurfing. Love the BBC1 coverage.

They will never learn. They are idiots.

I also watch live on the internet. I would never wait for NBC to broadcast a match that was played hours prior to them broadcasting it.

Same shit going on today as they are still showing the first set of V Williams vs Safina when Williams has already won 6-1, 6-0.

They should have started their coverage at 11 AM Eastern instead of waiting until noon.

 

[terps1313]

Yeah I try watching on the internet, but it is always choppy for me.

 

[Boxer22]

Its laughable that I have to sit here on the computer to watch this Roddick vs Murray match because NBC is not broadcasting it live. Come on NBC almost everyone has off from work today you don't have to wait until 2PM to play the replay.

Absolutely comical stuff. A sexy semi final not to be shown live due to the rights of NBC.

Have to blame whoever is negotiating the TV rights to allow this to happen. Not only NBC's fault.

It is NBC's fault they have the rights and they can show it live if they want to, but because of the time difference they do not want to replace the Today show with Wimbledon.

If NBC or any other network isn't willing to show this stuff live, then they shouldn't be awarded the contract. They are so concerned about their everyday morning tv crap, that they could care less about live tennis. Why do they even bother?

I agree 100%. I wish they would just let ESPN broadcast it. I love ESPN's tennis broadcast team.

 

[WorldNumberOne]

the today show is the only show that makes nbc any money... that + regis and kelly.. and then the other hour of today.

that is the only reason they dont show wimbledon live

NBC dropped the ball again. No point in showing a tape delayed match when its live all over the internet.
