Of course. I forgot about a couple channels. Actually, I presumed that  
they would just air on NBC, nationally. I don't know why, I mean, it  
makes perfect sense to air it on every channel they have. Also, I ran  
a mythfilldb, and got a bunch of 8 hour blocks now... so I rescind my  
previous statement. However, that's WAY more olympic coverage than I  
care to watch!
