NBC usually does pretty decent at broadcasting #TheOlympics , but at the moment it seems like a UX failure on #peacock (a service I usually prefer to the others - I know I’m in the minority)

I’ve clicked on 8 straight events which say “live” (it’s 1500 mountain, no events are live) - and all of them say they are recently concluded or soon to start

They seem to have multiple hosted “highlight” shows, but none of them are available. They don’t seem to be on streaming, perhaps they only air linearly.

Just a strange model. I’m still free to watch 90mins of curling or speed skating whenever I want.

This week's #ThursdayFiveList theme is #MoonMusic. My list is mostly doowop this time:

The Marcels: Blue Moon (1961)
