ABC Seen On Olympic Mark
ABC broadcasts the Munich Olympics at a cost over 13 million dollars with special rights and satellite transmission. The coverage, mostly in prime time and taped with a five hour lag, delights color TV viewers though announcer emphasis and occasional missteps mar the presentation. Newsreel previews, ceremonies, and key events from Spitz to Rigby are praised for solid coverage despite announceritis and commentary quirks.
