The Olympic Games briefly returned to CBC on Friday. A spokesperson for CBC-TV has acknowledged to The Canadian Press that an error caused CBC NN - the Canadian broadcasting network's round-the-clock news channel - to broadcast about 45 minutes of Olympic footage. The CBC could not pinpoint the cause of the error but did confirm that the footage was broadcast from coast to coast. "It was a technical issue," CBC spokesperson Chris Ball said in a telephone interview. When contacted for comment, a CTV official poked fun at the incident.
"Our Olympic Games coverage is so great and extensive, even the CBC wants it," said Bonnie Brownlee, senior vice-president of corporate communications for CTVglobemedia.
