| The Olympic Games That Are Shown On TV Only Show The Most Popular Countries And How They Compete. |

 I think you're right, during the
Opening Ceremony which was played
live, I looked forward to seeing
Canada march in. Because of
commercials, they didn't show
Canada or a few other countries. Of
course many things are focused on
America, and I don't like that so
much because I want to see the
whole composition, not zeroed in on
one country. I wish there was a
channel that was very neutral and
showed everybody competing. |

I agree and they show the most
popular ones. |

Probably, but I think Advertising
is a big fund resource for them. |

Popular games and countries mean
more advertising revenue. |

 Depends what country your in, I'm
in Britain and the TV coverage is
obviously, centered around British
athletes, although they also
concentrate on other popular
athletes. But why is that a bad
thing? I don't really especially
wanna see Russia anyway... |

Not only that, but it depends on
the sport. Not all countries are
going to be good in all sports they
compete in. I did see a handball
game that featured Russia and some
other country, can't remember who
(but I don't think it was one of
your "popular countries", so to say
they don't show the other countries
just isn't true. |

It does depend on what country
you're in as to what is broadcast.
They will broadcast what they feel
is more likely to bring them
ratings |
