I have an antenna as well. I was really hoping my NBC affiliate would use their other broadcast channels (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, etc) to show other Olympic sports. The promise of digital broadcasting. Nope, just more reruns from the 1980s.

I only recall this happening once, when WRAL (then a CBS affiliate) did that for the March Madness NCAA Men's tournament 10-15 years ago. Later tournaments had sold off the rights to some of the games to cable networks, so they were unable to do it again.
