I have SKY satelite in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. Will I be able to subcribe to some service Sky offers like HBO for Olympic coverage?
Are the Olympic Games going to be shown on television in the Philippines
Am in the process of making up some simple competitions regarding the Olympics for students that I teach.
I am in a hurry to find the sport that is set to receive the most live coverage at the Games. Does anyone know off hand.
Thank you.
I hope that the Olympics are going to be shown on the BBC & not all on Discovrey + utherwise Im knackered. I dont have this channel & cant afford to pay extra for it
Wonder which channels the equestrian/judo are on
My family and I are avid fans of the games, but we have to turn the channel when the costumes are inappropriate. The USA is an example to the world, as well as, our upcoming generations. We turn the channel when the women/men are in very skimpy bikinis. The Track and Field events have become more skimpy, even the Men’s costumes. On a positive note, I would like to compliment the woman newscaster for the games on channel 3. Her dresses are beautiful, as well as a good example to womanhood. Good for you. I am sorry I don’t know her name. Signed, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Klinger
