Low Return On Investment
NBC paid $613 million for the American television rights to the Winter Olympics in Turin. I have to believe when they determined their bid, they did not foresee the low budget American Idol kicking their ass repeatedly in the ratings.
NBC claims it made a profit of $75 million on the last Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. I seriously doubt they will see any profit this time.
