NBC


Did anyone else think that NBC's self-promotion was over the top before and during Super Bowl XLIII? I don't mean the incessant commercials for NBC programs, but the use of every NBC star in their stable for game coverage. (What was it - 12 hours of pre-game?)

Every station does this to some extent when they host a major sporting event, but 2009 seemed excessive.

No, FOX was much worse. From John Madden's broadcasting to the quality of the production, it was first class all the way. no-one need see all the pregame... the starting time was earlier too, a real plus.
