Curtains For The Olympic Games On NBC?

[Yeziknoradio]

Question to Canadian contributors: how is CTV doing with the Olympics? I
had heard they'd gotten the rights away from the CBC, the network with perhaps
the best reputation worldwide for its Olympic coverage.

CTV managed to snatch up the rights from CBC, but then they also sold to BELL media shortly after the last Olympic games.
(The Verizon of Canada, is the opinion some have.)

For the 2012 Olympics, Coke Canada stepped in as a major sponsor. Perhaps Coke USA should have a little chat with NBC...?

SO...are we any closer to finding out who will look after Olympic coverage in the States???

The song commonly known as "Nadia's Theme" has been the theme
song of "Y&R" since its debut in 1973; she used it in 1976. (Side note:
"Bold And The Beautiful" and "Days Of Our Lives" are the only other soaps
that have never changed their theme songs.)

Y&R has though. They did it in the late 2000s (Only a couple years ago). If it weren't for "Nadia's Theme", Y&R would've switched from some other theme when they made the switch last dacade

Cheers

Of course, would the soap or the theme have been popular if not for Nadia's performance?

Yes. Remember the soap DOES have a cast, a story, plotlines, etc. to fall back on ;D

Cheers D

As Olbermann once said, "Tick tick tick, freakin' tick tick tick". The US TV Bids will be presented to the IOC June 6 & 7 (Bring your billion$).

I hadn't noticed, but then again I'm not much of a soap fan and haven't been since "Guiding Light" started some unpopular storylines in the '90s, which drove a lot of its viewers away long before the show was canceled. Nonetheless, I think "Y&R" and "Nadia's Theme" will always be synonymous.
