My favorite part is when the announcer goes "WOW! LOOK AT THAT" and its still boring. 😂

The announcers are the only thing that make it interesting sometimes. You know what I think what it is - the production value is super low it seems like and not presented well. I’ve heard people say peacock isn’t up to the task and maybe that’s part of it

I totally agree the production value part of it. The cable providers used to have Olympics channels that just streamed every event, around the clock. Peacock seems like they were kind of trying to do that, but it really tanked production values. 

NBC broadcast is pretty lame, choosing  highlights you see, and the time difference makes it so hard to see things live.

Did you get to watch any Gold Zone? Definitely skeptical of the cuts in the standard broadcast
