NBC Acknowledges Live-Stream Problems, Working On Fix

Published November 20, 2014

The first full day of the London 2012 Olympic games had plenty of action, which you might have had trouble watching if you don't own a television. NBC's online streaming service was not up to par for many users, who reported freezing and crashing. New York Times television reporter Richard Sandomir seems to have gotten a hold of the powers that be at NBC and has passed along some extremely encouraging information.

The live stream for the men's 400-meter individual medley showdown involving Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps worked for a select few people, but many were shut out of the stream or succumbed to browser crashes.

If NBC doesn't have its streaming service fixed for the big events to come, a few million people are going to be unhappy. The network is not delivering on the promise to stream every event online if most people can't stream effectively.
