Hello!

I am currently living in Santo Domingo and was wondering if anyone had information on the broadcasting (and/or schedule) of the summer olympic games. I am a huge gymnastics fan (gymnast for over 16 years) and would love to be able to watch them here. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Beth

If you get cable TV most probably you will have access to the US networks, or European stations transmitting portions of the games.

That is always an option, but I don't have a television and don't really want one.

You ask for the broadcast info about the Olympics so you can watch them and don't have a TV. Interesting.

Just because I want broadcasting information doesn´t mean I want it broadcast into my home. I just wanted to know if anyone might have ideas on where one might get a schedule and watch at a sports bar, etc.

1. Find the schedule on the internet - I suspect being that it is the Olympics and there may be even a bit of hoopla it will have some shcedule somewhere. You seem to be educated so that means you ought to be able to find it on the internet. You found here easy enough.

2. Find a bar with a TV with the same channels.

You might try a newspaper from the DR, for example, the TV listings section, (closer to the Olympics date) with the listings, like Hoy or Listin Diario, or El Caribe - buy that when the listings for the week come out. that's what I'd do.

This tip will work in literally any country in the world with the internet, TV's and newspapers.

Alternate step to 2.: Buy a TV.
