Yes .. I know that kind of sucks for Canadian Viewers, but I think this could turn into something interesting by the next Olympics, if a lot of support is given. NBC Sports is partnering up with MediaZone to show the games either LIVE (a high-quality 500k stream) or ON DEMAND (available as a 700k download made available on a daily basis within 24 hours after the match).
What is also neat about this … is that although it’s NBC Sports … commentary is not available on these feeds. Natural sound is included from the event happenings and surroundings .. what it would be if you were in the stands (apparently, as I cannot confirm this of course, being located in Canada).
So - I would be curious if any Curling Fans from U.S.A. want to give this a try .. and let us know how it works out! Here’s the banner again to click - you should be transported to another window.
