In the interests of full disclosure, I've become jaded about the Olympics. A few of the more spectacular performances still draw me in (such as the amazing accomplishments of our women's gymnasts). Still, I suspect I might have watched more had they been broadcast more competently. What does that mean? I'm not really sure. I well remember when ABC had the franchise during the 50's and 60's. Roone Arlidge did an excellent job producing them and I love the host, Jim McKay and his "stupid" questions. Snobs loved criticizing McKay. I loved him because he was asking all the questions I would have asked had I been there. What the hell was curling and what was that guy doing with the broom?

It can be argued that many millennials don't have television, but instead rely on media streaming instead. I don't have television myself and only watch clips from the Olympics.

See, it is their fault then!

Broadcasting has lost a significant portion of its audience to narrowcasting (cable) and Internet streaming, not just for the Olympics

I haven't had cable TV in my home for about 6 years. Netflix and Amazon Prime keep my family entertained for about half the price of a cable subscription. My youngest child is growing up without seeing commercials everyday... I can hear the gasps of horror coming from the advertising and television executives.
