TVNewsRI 4 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 http://www.philly.com/philly/business/Comcast_making_presentation_to_Olympics_panel_to_host_Games.html This would allow NBC to cover the 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 Olympic games. NBC has been the official network of the games since 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterlingNorth 33 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Greeeeeat. More complaints about tape-delay events from viewers. Well, according to USA Today, NBC Sports president Not Dick Ebersol (OK, Mark Lazarus) says he'll show all events live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieboy247 42 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I thought they were the official summer broadcaster since 1992. I think it was 1988 that they started doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Well, according to USA Today, NBC Sports president Not Dick Ebersol (OK, Mark Lazarus) says he'll show all events live. And that's the key difference between GE NBCU and Comcast NBCU: they have many more networks this can "fit" on, namely Versus the NBC Sports channel and Golf Channel. (I'd also say G4, but apparently they're selling that to the UFC.) While I can still see a primetime show with taped content, they can run the majority of events live on, say, USA, NBC Sports, and Golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
