Each nation has to provide its own commentary. ABC broadcasts 140 hours of the Olympics to the USA. CBC broadcasts 200 hours to Canada, *some* of which doesn't have any Canadians participating. It's all provided by ABC, and the technical quality seems to be excellent. -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt {uw-beaver,qucis,watmath}!utcsrgv!dciem!mmt
