Curling

As we've mentioned before, we get most of our US TV fix from AFN, which has to take what the networks give it, because it doesn't pay for it. As a result, there's absolutely no Olympics coverage but curling on during European prime time, since those of you with honest jobs in the US are at work then and not watching TV. So we watch French TV on our Belgian cable. It's as francocentric as US coverage is US centered, but since France has some good athletes in some interesting sports, we see stuff. We saw Bode Miller win gold, for example. Live. Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe you didn't know that because NBC was saving it to show next Friday.

Check who owns your Belgian cable. The company that owns QVC owns one of them. They are also buying the German cable company and own a lot of other telecommunication stuff in Europe. By the by, QVC goes on the air in Italy later this Summer. So, watch QVC!
