10. MSNBC has the Olympics only on weekends and weekday overnights

Feb 2014

For instance Saturday's schedule, times ET:

7am: Alex Witt
8am: Olympics Hockey Live
10:30am: MHP
12pm: Alex Witt

NBC tape-delays the Primetime Olympics by a lot due to the big time difference between Russia and the US, while MSNBC has more freedom to carry live events.

Similarly on Monday 2/10, MSNBC has live olympic hockey 10am-12:30pm ET.

The MSNBC primetime will still be on for those not interested in the Olympics. I wonder though if Rachel Maddow etc will still be allowed to openly criticize Russia's anti-gay law.
