Actually, these have been exciting games, and the coverage has been better than I’ve seen in many years. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s gold medal hockey game between Canada and US.
Those ARE the real NBC tones, but the last tone (middle C) is in the wrong place–should have been the c in the 3rd space, to sound right. I know, picky and petty, but there it is–the benefit of a liberal arts music education. :)

almost as long a “pre-game” show as the superbowl pre-game show! nice ending (i hope it’s an ending).

The notes are “G-E-C” for General Electric Corporation. Could there be more trivial information than that? That’s what the internet is for.

It might be argued that the middle C should be an octave higher. Granted, in the current configuration, it does sound awfully final.

@MrPinkle: That might be a coincidence. http://www.radioremembered.org/chimes.htm

Almost as bad as the election cycle.

Having an Olympics every two years has not worked out, IMHO.

Having an Olympics every 2 years ain’t so bad. Having NBC do the coverage is another thing.

I heard the coverage was pretty good but people complained about the internet access. I probably could have checked it out, but just don’t GAD;-)
