Gone are the days of the live stream, the refreshing of your pages, and the broadcast cutting out at the imperfect times!
And we all have Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to thank...
The Blockbuster actor has announced that along with his company Seven Bucks Productions - Mr Olympia will be televised next year on CBS sports.
Mr Olympia 2017 - CBS Sports - The Rock and Seven Bucks Productions
A special guest at the 2016 Mr Olympia, at the conclusion of his speech, "The Rock" was presented with a "Man of The Century" award from Weider - the giant behind the Mr Olympia competition and Muscle & Fitness magazine.
The Rock spoke about getting into weight lifting at the age of 14, and how weight lifting has allowed him to learn the discipline required to be so successfull...then he dropped the massive news.
It drew a thunderous roar from the crowd, and from thousands streaming the competition from their computers.
The Rock then presented the 2016 Mr Olympia Winner Phil Heath with his 6th Sandow; his presence on stage loved by all in a packed Las Vegas Convention Centre.
For bodybuilding fans at least in the US, they'll have no issues watching the 2017 Mr Olympia spectacle on TV - but whether or not other countries will be able to access the feed via another network or a pay per view seperate to streaming the broadcast, remains to be seen.
"Stay Fit, Stay Flexed!"
