Olympic coverage

[Chicago2008 20]

Good evening, 

For the Olympics,  does the ICO provide camera and crews for the events and the networks broadcasting just feed off of them? Thanks.

There is a "world feed" produced by Olympic Broadcasting Services, a subsidiary of the IOC, which is used by broadcasters without the ability to send their own camera crews (which is used by Peacock in the US for full coverage of every event beyond the programming aired on NBCU's linear networks and possibly other streamers outside the US), but the world's stronger Olympic rights holders (from the more prosperous countries) send their own camera crews.

So NBC and the BBC would send there own crews?
