Hmmm... I checked the "details" of this time slot and it says:

CNBC Olym-Badminton

Live coverage of men's basketball (New Zealand vs. Argentina), badminton (finals) and men's beach volleyball (Australia vs. Germany). World No.1 Lin "Super" Dan looks to earn China back-to-back singles gold in badminton.

*************************

Both basketball and volleyball start at 2:30PM Athens time so I guess they'll be competing for air time. Badminton WD has already started and will probably almost be finished by the time 2:30PM AT rolls around. I think it's about 2:15PM AT right now. The MS final starts at 4:10PM AT which would be 6:10AM PST here(?). If beach volleyball and basketball are finished by then, I guess badminton will have all the air time to itself! Otherwise I can't see them choosing badminton over the other two sports which have been on every day since their beginning. The funny part of the description is that last line though... not only has Lin "Super" Dan has long been eliminated, but back-to-back gold? Where was his first one? LOL

Ugh, if CNBC doesn't air bball, vball, or baddy by 4:30, then I think they aren't going to follow their scheduling. Either way I don't know if I'll last till 6AM! Probably pass out by then heheh :p.
