If the events are held in prime time, they'll air live. Otherwise, tape delay -- nm - ty97 Aug 2, 14:49 5
- but they'll only cut to events if an American athlete is close to winning a medal - zork Aug 2, 14:51 4

  - There are events that American's don't medal in? -- nm - ty97 Aug 2, 14:58
What's the weather like in Rio in August? Let's remember that it's *winter* there. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 2, 14:37 9

4 years from now? There won't be an "NBC" any more. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 2, 14:35
Remember Vancouver? I'd say no. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 2, 14:34 4
- Meaning they'll have them on tape delay. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 2, 14:35 3
  - But all the outdoor winter events have to be competed during the day. The summer olympics is different. Of course some will have to be tape delayed - pmb Aug 2, 14:41 2
    - yeah, but NBC basically tape-delayed everything in vancouver in one time zone or another, evening or not. -- nm - mafic Aug 2, 14:57
    - It's NBC, that's how they roll. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 2, 14:41
