The Olympics really are much more than a sporting event  It really is an entertainment event and in that sense, it brings to the set a much more diverse audience.

It's not fair to really compare this to a weekend sporting event that is traditionally carried live across all the time zones, ... People are available to see it at different times.  This is 17 straight nights, many of them weekday nights, where people will not be available at 5 p.m. to watch the games.

We're very comfortable with where we are. We're very comfortable with our projections.

We're now coming to the market with one voice.

When you ask somebody if they'd rather have an event live or on tape, they're answer is, of course they'd rather have it live, ... When you explain to them that to have it live on the West Coast, it may be on at 5 o'clock, which means that they won't be available to view it, they'll go, 'Oh, well then I'd rather have it on tape.'

We're delivering a great event that will last 17 days. Even with a 12 to 14 rating in prime time, that's the equivalent of having six Super Bowls.

It was a very important issue to the West Coast affiliates, ... They felt that they knew their local audiences better and they lobbied us very, very hard.
