I might be one of the only folks here who thinks the coverage has been really impressive! Sure, NBC primetime is loaded with the big draws - gymnastics, swimming, beach volleyball and track & field -- but that's where they get their ratings and advertising dollars. But at other hours on NBC and on other networks I've watched cycling (team race, time trial, and track), volleyball, water polo (non-US teams), field hockey, TONS of boxing, soccer, womens softball, equestrian events, and diving. In addition, I stayed up late last night to watch live coverage online of the womens' triathlon.

I'm a Michael Phelps fan, and even I thought coverage has been a bit overkill. But if you go to NBC.com/olympics they'll show you when and on what channel any given event is being aired. So I'm not sure what the OP is looking for that s/he isn't finding, but I've actually been really pleased with the variety of sports available throughout the day.
