You guys keep throwing around concepts like “public transportation” and “public television.” Those are very foreign concepts to Americans
I’ve disliked NBC’s broadcast coverage for years. Although, to their credit, they do make the international feeds available for major events. Unfortunately, they started running commercials (at random in the middle of the competition!!!) over those feeds during Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022.
Now, I can’t even escape their broadcast choices by watching the international feed, since World Athletics or the HB are catering to their preferences
