On a related note, NBC turns small profit on Olympics.

Which it turns out to be huge because they were projected to lose $200 million. Although not a hit in the twitterverse, everywhere else, NBC killed it. There cross platform telecasts were well received and performed about as expected.

I thought the cross platform telecasts worked great. It sounds like folks had little trouble finding NBCSN. Too bad they really screwed the pooch with jamming that dopey sit-com into the the closing ceremonies. They still have work to do.

Other than a few minor issues, their mobile streaming was really good. But if Ryan Seacrest comes within a 100 mile radius of the Rent....

I liked the mobile streaming options. I guess some people had real issues with it working in an acceptable manner, though.

I liked the concept but found it less than satisfying in terms of the actual performance. I also found that the commercials they jammed in there seemed to come at the wrong times, and for some reason also seemed to mess up the transmission of the events. I suspect it was some technical thing between getting back to London from the US, though I don't know.
Seemed whenever there was a commercial in a live feed, we went off line for a minute or two between the end of the ad and returning to live action. It was fairly frustrating at times.
