Looks like Hearst is having some carriage issues with Insight and Time Warner Cable.
Last night while watching AGT on the local Hearst-owned NBC channel, there was a crawl urging people to call Time Warner and Insight cable to prevent the channel from being dropped. The contract expired on 7/1 and they are working on a unilateral extension by Hearst to come to an agreement. The extension goes through July 9.
This means that, at least in the Cincinnati area where the hearst station is an NBC affiliate some could go without Olympics coverage.
