Have You Missed Curling and Luge?

You better have. NBC is prepping 416 hours of Olympics coverage this February, spread out over NBC, USA, MSNBC and CNBC (not to mention two Hi-Def channels that'll make the owners who shelled out thousands of dollars for their new TVs very very happy). 75% of the coverage will be live -- those prepackaged, heartwarming profiles that place human interest above actual sporting events can get very tiresome. Here's the figure I'd like to hear: how much of primetime coverage will be live? We'll be lucky to get 50%, I bet. The Olympics take place Feb 10 through Feb 26.
