What I received from NBC Sports was part of its programming schedule press release for the month of July. I’ve culled the Olympic TV schedule for NBCUniversal and you’ll notice that for the cable networks, Bravo, CNBC, NBC Sports Network among others, everything will be live. On NBC, there will be tape delayed coverage in primetime. And even for the weekend daytime coverage, it’ll be live on the East Coast, but delayed out West.
I wish NBC wouldn’t pull this tape delayed crap for viewers on the West Coast, but they’ll argue that ratings out West for the Olympics will be higher on the West Coast than in the East. It still should be live all over no matter what time it starts.
Here’s the schedule.
