They never do. Always save it for prime time on NBC.

The rest of the Olympics are live on like four different channels though. It's actually pretty impressive coverage, which they didn't have for many years.

They never do, unless the Games are in North America.

For any U.S. watchers that want to see it live you'll have to stream it on NBCOlympics.com (not sure about the Opening Ceremony, but all the events will be there live).

What channels homie?

 

[651akathepaul]

The Channels should be NBC (local), NBC Sports, MSNBC, CNBC, and Bravo.

Thanks, but I don't live in the US. We're getting it live in HK... 

Unfortunate for US-folks though... Fail by NBC.

 

[651akathepaul]

That's dumb. They better at least start live coverage of the actual competitions.

 

[knightngale]

the U.S. is probably the only country not getting opening and closing ceremony live coverage

Few posts up, dude. The NBC network channel only does evening recaps. They've been doing it that way for 20 years. NBC Sports has live coverage every day starting at like 4 am (west coast). Bravo is doing tennis, CNBC is doing boxing. Not sure what MSNBC is doing. Plus you can stream live online.

Let's get this show on the road!

20 mins in ~ Hmmmm.

 

[eracism]

Everyone in the stadium please stand up for your majesty the Queen!

Uh, sure.

 

[knightngale]

[mastamind89]

Any particular reason to why they're speaking French first?

 

[eracism]

LMFAO. This opening act is jokes.

Damn I get what they are honoring and everything, but there is nothing spectacular, noteworthy, or interesting about how they've done this ceremony so far.
