Tirico to Open NBC’s Primetime Winter Games Coverage On-Location Before Traveling 6,200 Miles to Los Angeles to Host Primetime Olympics & Super Bowl Pregame Show

Primetime Winter Olympics Coverage on NBC & Peacock Begins Thursday, Feb. 3; Super Bowl LVI is One Month from Today on Sunday, Feb. 13

STAMFORD, Conn. – January 13, 2022 – In an unprecedented hosting double, Mike Tirico will host the NBC Olympics primetime show in Beijing (beginning Thurs., Feb. 3) and Los Angeles, while also hosting the Super Bowl LVI pregame show from SoFi Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 13, as NBCUniversal presents the two global events in an 18-day stretch next month.

Tirico will anchor the Olympic primetime show in Beijing from Thursday, Feb. 3 through Thursday, Feb. 10 before flying 6,200 miles to Los Angeles, where he’ll continue his Olympic hosting the very next night – Friday, Feb. 11 – from a special set outside SoFi Stadium, which will host Super Bowl LVI. He will host the primetime Olympics show again on Saturday night, before hosting the five-hour Super Bowl LVI Pregame Show on Sunday, Feb. 13. Immediately following Super Bowl coverage, he’ll return to the lake set to host Sunday night’s Olympic competition. Further details will be available in the coming weeks.

“There’s no one better than Mike Tirico to navigate this unique confluence — a global gathering of elite Olympic athletes in 15 sports in the world’s biggest media event and the game crowning the NFL champion in our country’s ultimate single-day sporting and media spectacle,” said Molly Solomon, Executive Producer & President, NBC Olympics Production. “Mike’s knowledge, preparation and ability to converse on anything from figure skating to football are second-to-none. We are counting down until it all begins next month.”

“It is a career highlight to host the biggest sports broadcast day any media company has ever undertaken,” Tirico said. “The foundation of our Olympic and NFL productions are the incredible people behind the camera. It is their planning and excellence that make this possible. I have never been more excited for a work project and to quote the great Ernie Banks, ‘let’s play 2!’”

Tirico, who has been NBC’s primetime Olympics host since 2018, hosts his third Olympics (PyeongChang, Tokyo) and fourth Super Bowl (pregame co-host and host of Lombardi Trophy presentation, Super Bowls XXXIV, XXXVII, and XL on ABC). Primetime Winter Olympics coverage on NBC and Peacock begins on Thursday, February 3, the night before the Opening Ceremony.

STAMFORD, Conn. – Jan. 12, 2022 – NBCUniversal will present a Winter Olympics-record 2,800+ hours of coverage across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, CNBC, NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app when the XXIV Olympic Winter Games from Beijing, China, begin this February.

In a Winter Olympics first, but similar to its coverage of the Tokyo Olympics, NBCU will provide unprecedented full-day coverage of the Opening Ceremony on Friday. Feb. 4, on NBC and Peacock. The day will include live coverage in the morning followed by a special edition of TODAY, an afternoon Olympics preview show, and an enhanced primetime presentation of the Opening Ceremony, with a special focus on Team USA.

As with recent Winter Olympics, the NBC broadcast network will feature 18 nights of primetime coverage, beginning on Thursday, Feb. 3, the night before the Opening Ceremony. USA Network, the new home for many of NBC Sports’ biggest events, will be the cable home of the Winter Games, providing coverage from Feb. 2-20. And, as previously announced, Peacock will live stream all Winter Olympics coverage on its premium tier and immediately host replays of all competition to ensure fans won’t miss a moment.

Team USA is expected to feature all nine of its gold medalists from PyeongChang along with several other top medal contenders. They include: three-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White (snowboarding); 2018 Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim (snowboarding); three-time Olympic medalist, including two golds, Mikaela Shiffrin (alpine skiing); three-time world champion and 2018 Olympian Nathan Chen (figure skating); two-time Olympic gold medalist David Wise (freestyle skiing); three-time Olympic medalist, including two golds, Jamie Anderson (slopestyle and big air); 2018 Olympic gold medalist Red Gerard (slopestyle); three-time Olympic medalist Elana Meyers Taylor (bobsled); 2018 Olympic gold medalist Jessie Diggins (cross-country skiing, who won gold with since-retired Kikkan Randall); 2018 Olympic bronze medalist Brittany Bowe (speed skating); and 2018 Olympian Erin Jackson (speed skating). The U.S. is also expected to challenge for medals in team sports and returns many members of the 2018 gold medal-winning women’s ice hockey team and men’s curling team, which is once again skipped by John Shuster.

“These Games have provided some unprecedented challenges, but by having already produced the Tokyo Olympics amidst the pandemic, we’re fully prepared and equally excited to bring all the memorable moments of the Winter Games and Team USA to American viewers this February,” said Pete Bevacqua, Chairman, NBC Sports. “In addition to the extensive coverage on broadcast and cable television, every single moment of the Winter Games from Beijing will be available to viewers on Peacock’s premium tier for the first time, providing yet another avenue for viewers to consume the Olympics. And in a media first — smack dab in the middle of the Winter Games — we get to broadcast the Super Bowl. February 13 will be the biggest day in sports media history, with the Olympics flanking Super Bowl coverage all day on NBC and Peacock — and Telemundo for the game — an unparalleled one-two punch. If you’re not excited about that kind of challenge, you’re in the wrong business. We’re ready.”

NBCUniversal is presenting its 18^th Olympic Games, 12^th consecutive overall, and sixth straight Winter Games, all the most by any U.S. media company.

Following are highlights of NBCU’s presentation of the 2022 Beijing Olympics (Note: Similar to Tokyo, Beijing is 13 hours ahead of the U.S. eastern time zone, allowing for significant coverage of live events in the primetime and Primetime Plus shows):

OPENING CEREMONY

Identical to this past summer’s Tokyo Olympics and in a first for a Winter Games, NBCUniversal will provide unprecedented full-day coverage of the Opening Ceremony on Friday. Feb. 4. Coverage begins at 6:30 a.m. ET on NBC and Peacock with NBCU’s first-ever live morning presentation of a Winter Games Opening Ceremony.
Following live coverage, a special edition of TODAY will air on NBC from 9 a.m. – 11 m. ET, including reaction to the Opening Ceremony and athlete interviews.
From 12-3 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, NBCU will review the highlights of the Opening Ceremony and look ahead to the biggest storylines of the Beijing Olympics with its first-ever daytime show on the opening Friday of a Winter Games.
The day-long coverage will culminate with an enhanced primetime presentation of the Opening Ceremony, from 8-11 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, with a special focus on the athletes of Team USA in addition to the traditional performances, pageantry and Parade of Nations that make the Opening Ceremony one of the most-watched events worldwide.

NBC

Like Sochi 2014 and PyeongChang 2018, primetime coverage on NBC begins the night before the Opening Ceremony, on Thursday, Feb. 3, featuring live figure skating as well as qualifying for men’s and women’s moguls. In figure skating, Team USA begins its pursuit of a third straight medal in the Team Event, which could include the Beijing debut of Nathan Chen.

NBC OLYMPICS AND TWITTER EXTEND CONTENT PARTNERSHIP TO INCLUDE BOTH TOKYO AND BEIJING OLYMPICS

October 6, 2020 By admin

Innovative Content Collaboration Includes Postponed Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and Beijing Olympic Winter Games in 2022

STAMFORD, Conn. – Oct. 6, 2020 – NBC Olympics and Twitter have extended the innovative content partnership both parties announced in 2019 to include the postponed Tokyo Olympics set for the summer of 2021 and the Beijing Olympic Winter Games in February 2022. Most elements of the extension mirror the original agreement, which was announced solely for Tokyo 2020 in July 2019.

Now, both parties will work together to amplify NBC Olympics’ vast coverage of both Tokyo and Beijing by creating daily, original programming on Twitter live from the host city, a daily poll that will allow fans on Twitter to choose one live look-in to NBC’s Primetime or Primetime Plus broadcasts each night, and real-time video highlights throughout each competition day.

Through these initiatives, NBC Olympics and Twitter will connect Twitter’s engaged audience in the United States to the Olympic athletes, the host city, and the Games’ most unforgettable moments while simultaneously driving them to NBC Olympics’ massive multi-platform presentation of the Summer and Winter Games.

As with the original agreement, NBC Olympics will lead the sales process for this unique two-Games content, with Twitter providing sales resources, giving advertisers another avenue to connect to its coverage of the Games and to Twitter’s valuable audience. All content will live on the @NBCOlympics handle, sold as Twitter in-stream sponsorships by NBC Olympics.

Highlights of the agreement include:

Original Live Studio Program: Every morning from Tokyo, NBC Olympics will produce a 20-minute original studio program live from the host city, exclusively on Twitter, that will focus on highlights, athlete interviews, and the happenings in and around the host city, as well as some of the best reactions to the Games on Twitter. NBC Olympics will also produce a similar daily program for Twitter, with elements live from Beijing.
Daily Live Look–Ins Powered by Twitter Vote: For the first time, Olympic fans will have the opportunity to watch a daily live look-in of NBC Olympics’ Primetime or Primetime Plus coverage on Twitter — and even decide which athlete, sport or moment they’d like to watch by voting in a daily Twitter poll announced during the morning’s live show.
Real-Time Highlights: During the both Summer and Winter Games, NBC Olympics will clip many of the most memorable and engaging moments of the day and publish them on Twitter throughout each competition day, including some Spanish-language clips. Highlights will include medal-winning moments as well those from the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
Pre-Games Content: Beginning in June 2021 and counting down until the Tokyo Opening Ceremony on July 23, 2021, NBC Olympics will provide Twitter with real-time highlights of its Olympic sport coverage, including the U.S. Olympic Team Trials. A similar countdown will be used for Beijing 2022.

“Extending our now multi-Games relationship with Twitter to Tokyo for the Summer Games in 2021 and Winter Games in 2022 from Beijing will again put NBC Olympics’ coverage in front of the vast and very active Twitter audience with great Olympic moments, great Olympic programming and a nightly peek into our primetime broadcast for those not yet in front of their televisions,” said Gary Zenkel, President, NBC Olympics. “This agreement also allows us to extend the reach of our Olympic advertisers to those audiences that view the content we have custom produced for Twitter.”

“Few events bring to the world together like the Olympics and we truly anticipate that both the upcoming Summer Games and Winter Games will be massive global celebrations like no other,” says TJ Adeshola, head of sports partnerships, Twitter. “We can’t wait to join forces with a fantastic content partner like NBC Olympics to pair real-time Twitter conversation with premium sports action to give fans a unique real-time Olympics experience they won’t find anywhere else.”
