Triple Cast coverage of Olympics sparks mixed reaction
In 1990s fashion, Paper'n Ink notes NBC's Triple Cast pay service for Barcelona Olympics, with three 24 hour channels and hours of lag. The author jokes about comical digs from Leno and Letterman, questions on feasibility, and prefers Rangers games with a book over watching alien sports for long blocks. He hopes for highlights and real-time playbacks over extreme 24 hour coverage.
