NBC and Universal Sports will be providing complete coverage of the World Track & Field Championships in the US. The schedule is available: http://www.universalsports.com/track-and-field/events/event=US0302094/viewers-guide/index.html?__source=GADW&cid=trackandfieldiaafchamp&gclid=CKP0343Z0qoCFQmD5QodSQvz1A
The good news is that one can see complete coverage of both morning & evening sessions on the universalsports website. The bad news is that Deagu is on the other side of the world, and Korean Standard Time is 13 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. The other bad news is that accessing the online coverage will cost you $14.99.
The good news is that I have Universal Sports on my cable package, so I can see about 5 hours a day of coverage. The bad news is that it is not in HD, and the quality of the low-def coverage is not very good.
The good news is that NBC will have HD coverage. The bad news is that they will only have coverage on weekends (I long for those hour long shows after Carson in 1983 & '87). More bad news....Tom Hammond. The guy who has been NBC's voice of track and field for 20 years and still can't figure out the three-turn stagger in the 4x400. He also can't seem to follow more than the American and maybe a Jamaican or some other runner in any race.
Enjoy Daegu, I will post my predictions on 8/26.
