Winter Olympics 2022 Discussion

[wonderfly]

I didn't see the opening ceremony on TV last night, I turned on NBC at 10 pm and all I saw was my local evening news and then The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and then I was too exhausted (I had a long day) and turned it off. Did they air the opening ceremony in Prime Time before 10pm Central Time?

But then I turned on NBC this morning, and they weren't airing the Olympics. I know what NBC airs is not "live" broadcasts, it's all delayed a few hours, but were there not enough events that have been done yet to broadcast this morning?

Is there a block on airing the Olympics? Or are they just not going to broadcast it as much?

Yup, the opening ceremony finished well before 11 PM EST/10 PM CST. They also showed it live in the morning on the Today Show.

Yup, not that many events to air on NBC in the morning. USA Network is handling a lot of the events now that NBC Sports Network is no more. I believe CNBC and the Olympic Channel will also have stuff. NBC will still air stuff in the morning/afternoon and then in primetime like usual.
