Members of the media attended the dress rehearsals, and were given a detailed guide to the entire ceremony. So there is no excuse for Vieira to say she didn’t know who Tim Berners-Lee was. The NBC broadcast was a shambles, and that is even before mentioning they cut out one of the more moving parts of the ceremony for a completely unrelated interview with Phelps. (Isn’t he going to be interviewed every other day of the games?)But as long as the money keeps rolling in (not a certainty, since they did lose a bundle of money in Vancouver) NBC will keep on with their version of the games “tailored for the American Audience.”

I know they couldn’t do a sound check with the Queen, but why wasn’t the audio problem found during rehearsals?”

Brit here, watched the Ceremony live on the BBC last night, and have to say there were no audio problems with the Queen’s speech last night. So presumably any audio issues were down to NBC’s editing.
