The days of “plausibly live” Olympics coverage on NBC are coming to an end. The network says Mike Tirico will host what are essentially two prime-time Olympics telecasts this summer — one filled with live events coverage shown in the afternoon in the United States, and the second curating the day's best events for the U.S.
FILE - People film the Olympic rings that are displayed on the Eiffel Tower, June 7, 2024 in Paris . On Wednesday, 26, 2024, NBC announced plans to change the way they cover the 2024 Olympics.
This year, NBC said Wednesday that Mike Tirico will host two daily Olympics shows, one that coincides with prime-time in Paris and featuring live competition in marquee sports like swimming, gymnastics and track & field. The other, during prime-time hours in the United States while Paris sleeps, will be a curated view of the day’s best action.
“It’s going to look very different from the prime-time shows that you’ve seen in the past,” she said.
