NBC Olympic Coverage

NBC Olympic Coverage: NBC’s Olympic coverage is excellent. Winter Olympic Games to attract hundreds of thousands of fans all over Europe and America. The game became extremely popular. There are a large number of people switching from TV sets to enjoy the Games.
NBC, which brings together in a live event, has become popular overnight. Has developed a kind of sub-standard record level of viewers. Gamecoverage is anger.
In the first three days to cover the match touched new heights. The game being broadcast live from Vancouver attracted some 28.6 million viewers a day. This is 25 percent more than in 2006 Turin Games.
A look at NBC’s coverage of the Winter Olympic Games:
Michaels back: negotiating a new contract with the Foundation in 1992, Al Michaels that included in his deal that he will replace Jim McKay to host the Olympic Games. After all, usually broadcast on the BBC Olympics and expressed confidence it would win the rights for the 1996 Atlanta Games.
Instead, NBC won those games, and each subsequent one in 1998 with the exception of the Nagano Games, which were broadcast on CBS. Was an unrealized dream for the veteran broadcaster.
Now that he’s in the Nahr al-Bared, Michaels is back in the Olympic Games for the first time since 1988. Bob Costas is entrenched such as the face of the games, but Michaels has been hosting coverage of the day.
“I really missed in the first and that I never thought I’d have a chance to do one again,” said Michaels.
Vancouver Olympic Games on the occasion of 30th anniversary of his professional life at the moment of signing: The United States’ epic upset of the Soviet Union ice hockey in Lake Placid. Michaels’ We also call upon the final seconds ticked away – “Do you believe in miracles?” – Is engraved in history.
Question was difficult with malice aforethought. Remember walking to the square with the broadcast partner Ken Dryden said he hoped that the result was close enough – say the Soviets 3-1 in the second period – ABC, which did not lose its audience. No one imagined that the United States had a chance.
During the final seconds intensive, she was sent to hockey on the ice outside the center, giving Michaels to utter the moment the call. If you’d asked him a few hours later, said Michaels, he probably would not have remembered what he said. Instead, it has become the eternal ode to the story written by the American team.
Is us: Bob Costas. The smooth running Sunday deserves to be mentioned, where the hosts to be easily taken for granted. Costas offered a moving tribute to Kumaritashvili. Sharing the story of an American pairs skater competing against his girlfriend, the feast day of love is inspiring. And he allowed American skier Hannah Kearney tells the bar of their poles gold medal run, and then noted dryly to the test and clear for theOlympic Games for 2014 broadcast team.
LOWLIGHT: The Prime Minister-time and file Ono already felt like a repeat – in the night of the Olympic Games.
Ratings: For the second consecutive night, in the Olympic Games in the beatings. Aired last Saturday, which featured Ono silver medal performance and Kearney take over the country the first gold medal in Vancouver, was seen by 26.2 million people, according to The Nielsen Company
That was more than any other night for NBC’s coverage in Turin, Italy, four years ago.
Those ratings are very encouraging for NBC to consider in figure skating, and overall the most popular event for television viewers, were not started yet. Saturday tends to be less than watching television every night of the week, NBC’scoverage has been padded because the postponement of the men’s Alpine ski event unexpectedly transmitted over the network with the fullness of time.
North: Al Trautwig and Chad Salmela bring enthusiasm appropriate to raise the completion of the combination of the Nordic countries, where he earned a silver medal Johnny Spillane was thefirst American ever to win a medal in this event. We did not have this statement Trautwig: “If you’ve been for a long time in the Nordic combined Olympic observers, can not believe what you see.” Yes, each and every one of you.
Sweet shot: the elimination of broadcast prime minister in a timely manner with a picture of Canadian Alexandre Bilodeau gold medal hugging his brother Frederick, who suffers from cerebral palsy, was beautiful.
