Not sure what you mean by "regardless of timezone". I was lucky to be in a foreign country during an Olympics (Australia). They had no delusions of grandeur (except maybe in swimming). They interviewed winners regardless of country, they told stories regardless of country. They showed events live. Dick Ebersol stubbornly kept the standard practice of tape-delaying major events to prime time in the US, long past viability in the Twitter/ESPN/Google ecosystem. In some cases (swimming), they have lobbied to change the schedule so live events can be live in the US prime time window. I believe Michael Phelps's 2008 Beijing races were at 7am local time. Surely other countries loved that. |
