USA vs Argentina
« on: August 27, 2004, 12:12:45 AM »
what time and station.
The official website has it Men's Semifinal - Game 78 - Argentina - United States Friday 20:00 - 21:45  I'm at the USA website and it looks like they dont get this game.  I loved their uninterupted coverage, even tho it meant Doug Collins on commentary.

Don't tell me its MSNBC with major interuppted coverage.  :angry:

Reality,
I am having a very difficult time figuring it out on the NBC website.  I think it is at 1:00 pm EST Friday, but it could also be 1:00 pm PAC Friday.  It is amazing that NBC has such a worthless website for finding particular broadcasts.  I mean what is so hard about choose an event, and have it tell you specific time in your time zone?

My local media connections tell me the game is being played at 10AM Pacific time.
However, MSNBC is only showing it on tape delay at 1PM Pacific time.
However2, MSNBC has the tv schedule listing lumped all in one time block including canoeing, swimming, etc.  He does say that it appears that in previous "lump" settings the event which shows first, in this case Mens Hoop, is at 12:30 PM Pacific.  I suppose they will do a half hour of babble till beginning the tape at 1PM.  Whether they plan to show it uninterupted or not is not being publicized or broadcast.

What a farce.  No way this could be a mistake.  Something is up here.

Do they have something play by play on the net?  Similar to the NBA.com flash play by play?

There isn't a major web development language (PHP, ASP, ColdFusion) that it couldn't be handled in a maximum of 5 lines of code.  It's inexcusable.

According to the listings on NBCOlympics.com the game is at 1:00 Eastern time (10:00 AM Pacific) on NBC.
