<< Only months after enduring a storm of criticism for tape delaying its broadcast of the Summer Olympics from Sydney, Australia, NBC and its affiliates announced Monday that the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City will be shown on tape delay on the West Coast.
The rest of the nation will see the Salt Lake Games next February on live TV, typically airing from 8-11:30 p.m. on the East Coast, which would be from 5-8:30 p.m. in the West. Instead, NBC will broadcast the Games on delay on the West Coast from 7:30-11 p.m. most nights.

Seems like NBC's west coast affiliates pushed for this decision.
