I don't even own a television set. My phone is one of the only "dumb" phones still offered by my carrier and I don't believe in the internet. The only way I'll see any of it is if I go to my cross fit class and they have it on one of the screens there. But I'm currently boycotting that place because I'm vegan and they have animal leather seating in the common area, of which I do not approve.

It’s honestly much easier to watch online than on any TV station. CBC has excellent coverage and you can watch literally any event without ads (sometimes there’s ads but it’s not consistent. I think I’ve seen maybe 3 and I’ve watched like 50+ hours of Olympics so far lol).

Streameast let's you watch 4 "channels" at the same time, and you are not restricted to team USA coverage, much better than paying for peacock

I just use Picture-in-Picture mode and watch as many CBC streams as I want lol.
