    This didn’t even make the US broadcast. NBC skipped a lot of countries from the Parade of Nations. As a country of immigrants, you’d think they’d show them all.

      Yeah, that’s why I find BBC streams wherever possible. The American broadcast anchors talk too damn much, and always show more fluff garbage than the actual events.

        That’s all American tv

        We get American Ninja Warrior in my country and it’s an hour of fluff with 5 minutes of the actual programme sprinkled in

    They introduced them as “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea”, which is the official name for North Korea. South Korea’s official name is just “Republic of Korea”. I can totally see many people who are used to calling them “North” or “South Korea” mixing those up.
