nickp 337 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Kenny Albert and Brendan Burke will be callings games for NBC remotely curious to see what happens with the already scheduled NHL ON TNT telecasts and their regular Rangers/Islanders assignments Interesting times ahead Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18706-2022-winter-olympics/#findComment-269788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsjunkie24 506 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Kenny and Brendan are both good, but I wish John Forslund was part of the hockey announcing team. John Walton is also the Capitals radio PXP voice as well, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. I wonder if they'll use the NHL on NBC theme for the ice hockey portions. They used Roundball Rock for Olympic Basketball last year. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18706-2022-winter-olympics/#findComment-269800 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hate to see that fantastic theme go to waste. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18706-2022-winter-olympics/#findComment-269802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyWatch 239 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Hasn't FOX been using RR for their college basketball coverage or am I dreaming? If so, how are the music rights split up?

If anything, their TNT commitments can be done from there. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18706-2022-winter-olympics/#findComment-269824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3304 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Here’s a look at the OBS graphics. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18706-2022-winter-olympics/#findComment-269826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medianext.MX 50 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Look really nice, honestly. They are much more pleasing that the Tokyo 2020 graphics (from which the graphics template has been sourced) and clearly take cues from the Beijing Look of the Games. Here are some additional illustrations of the graphics (on spoliers): Spoiler The world feed open also follows on the style from the Tokyo 2020 opening. There are two versions, a version with the OBS logo (the one available on the link, which has been updated to reflect the new IOC brand system), and a clean version that RHBs can use to place their own logo.

Viper550 291 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The mountain on the side looks a little off to me but it's nice to see OBS starting to get a bit more inventive Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18706-2022-winter-olympics/#findComment-269853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENDude 217 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Does anyone watch 'The Olympic Channel' ? I like it, it's basically overflow coverage that NBC Sports Can't get on to it's other networks, including the NBC television network.
