The only address I have is multichannelnewsday@yahoo.com however looks likes he wants to talk (probably for an article tommorow) 
I just got off the phone with Mr. Donohue and wanted to add that he did say he was also going to look into how the HD Olympic feed was distributed.Scott Greczkowski said:
I mentioned how some viewers were able to receive the HD feed both OTA and via satellite while others were denied the satellite feed even though they were in an area that could not get it OTA.
He seemed interested in hearing about that, so others or you who had that problem may want to give him a call.
I called and told him my own views about NBC olympics:
1 - Over the air poor quality for my local market
2 - Over the air poor sound quality.
3 - Both Dish Network and VOOM exceeds point 1 and 2.
4- Repetitive nature of the break "commercials". First three-four days the Sony commercial was repugnant. Even now the 3 Sony commercial with NBC's own breaks are too repeatitive.
5- I boycotted the SD NBC olympics.
6- Even though it was a delayed HD feed NBC did a poor job in handling the editing of the events. There were a lot of interruptions during the diving, swimming events which did not show continuity when NBC came back from break.
7- NBC's HD coverage has been biased. The Chinese have 25 Gold medal and there was only one event covered by this in HD. Everything else has been American. You would think that Americans are the only ones wining Gold Medals.
8- NBC's HD definition of what the olympics events are: Swimming, Diving, Gymnastics, Track & Field. There's has not been anything else covered which I have seen. How many people would have loved to see the Women Softball team? How many of us would have liked to see a basketball game? and there are so many other olympics events which have not been covered in HD. He asked me why not watch MSNBC, BRAVO, and other SD channels. Why should I watch low definition of programming.
9- NBC can call it whatever they want. But in my book, NBC has done a very poor job with the olympics in HD.
