They had 2 options for the race on Peacock. I had it running on CNBC on my TV plus on my Samsung phone, Peacock option 1. The commercials didn't run at the same time, so I was pretty successful watching the entire race, but it was a real pain in the butt! Actually, there were no commercials on Peacock option 1. It was all views of Paris to music instead of a commercial.

They are getting a live feed from the Olympic broadcaster—who doesn’t stop filming when various countries take their network commercial breaks. That non-commercial filming would still be running in their NBC/Peacock studio, enabling them to simply play back the interrupted broadcast as their replay—with ambient sound (or no sound) for parts of the race that transpired during the commercial breaks.
But perhaps they couldn’t tolerate the possibility that their commentators aren’t talking during every moment of the broadcast.

if they (NBC) are piping in commercials on the world feed then there's no way they're going to upload the world feed without them or without the breaks cut out for on-demand. if you pay for premium Peacock you get on-demand with the ads removed, if you dont pay for premium then you get the ads whenever they took a break live. i dunno why that is weird? that's how it's always been. if they wanted you to be able to see the world feed live uninterrupted then they would've shown it like that to begin with.

sorry i dont mean to be a tool but i've seen people bitching and moaning all over twitter as if they've never experienced the shitshow that is American television before. it blows and it always has, this is nothing abnormal. someone on youtube uploaded OLN coverage of some 2001-2005 Tour de France stages and the amount of commercials on those is way way way worse than anything we've had to experience this year.

I’m watching a Belgian broadcast so it doesn’t bother me one bit. I see what you’re saying though—they’re only letting those who paid for full, commercial-coverage to get the full broadcast on replay.
