CNBC/MSNBC Query

R

Radiofreewill

The last few days, I've noticed a little blue dot in the bottom right hand corner of both CNBC and MSNBC (not hard to miss, since both are next to each other on my cable lineup). Tonight there is no dot, but a small white representation of the Olympic Rings. I'm guessing this is an indicator to headends that they have the right feed locked in for NBC Olympic programming?<P ID="signature">______________

It appears that's the case, although when actual Olympic coverage kicks in they'll probably replace that bug with a network-specific one in the upper left.

Now if only NBC (and every other network on the planet) would make their routine network bugs that small.
 
Doesn't NBC Universal provide a non-Olympic feed for those isolated cases where a cable/satellite operator hasn't negotiated for Olympic feed rights?

(Also, in the case of MSNBC, the alternate feed could be fed to Canada, where MSNBC is carried but CBC has Olympic rights.)
