Tennis...a little late

Posted by Joanna Weiss July 1, 2009 01:18 PM

I'm not a giant Wimbledon viewer, but a colleague of mine is up in arms about NBC's decision to embargo the men's quarterfinals this morning. The Roger Federer match took place at 8 a.m. Eastern this morning, but it was aired on tape-delay on NBC at 10 a.m. It's what the network calls "plausibly live," though it ignores that little thingie called the Internet. ESPN, which was airing other Wimbledon coverage, was barred from reporting anything that happened on the NBC-aired matches. Hmm. Another rant here.
