TommyLog – NBC Tape Delay Fail #NBCFAIL

Is there anyone in the good old USA who is not upset by the way NBC has handled the coverage Summer Games in London? In this day and age of social media and on-demand news, why oh why did they chose to run many of the best events via tape delay? I get the whole time zone thing, but we are way past that! What was the last major sporting event you watched on tape delay? The Super Bowl? The World Series? The Final Four? Even to World Cup? Right? Seriously, what possessed NBC to pull this maneuver?

Red Shoes Speak No. 16: Olympic Tape Delays

Jess Dennis and Tommytrc discuss the 2010 Winter Olympics and how social media is negatively affecting tape delays in programming. Can networks like NBC continue to control when live events are aired and whether participants can discuss the proceedings in their social networks? Are the big networks acting as gatekeepers and trying to control the message? Control freaks or not, discuss on Twitter using the hashtag #redshoesspeak.

Red Shoes Speak No. 10 Fly Conan FLY

Lisa and Tommy talk about the late night talk show spat between NBC and Conan O’Brien. Conan is getting a reported $40 million to leave NBC, now’s the time for him to start anew. The Tonight Show is getting old and stale. Does he needs to get away from network TV and take his show to the internet? Be part of the conversion, tell us what you think. #redshoesspeak on twitter.
