Olympic updates

Some Olympic updates..

The IOC has awarded the broadcasting rights to NBC and its affiliates through the 2032 Olympic games. The extension took place in May. NBC previously had been awarded the Olympics through the 2020 games in Tokyo. In extending the rights of NBC to broadcast the 2022, 2024, 2026, 2028, 2030 and 2032 Olympic games, the IOC shored up its financial future. NBC will pay 7.65 billion dollars for the games from 2021 to 2032. This includes internet streaming, mobile and subscription television as well..


The USOC has narrowed the USA bid cities to four in bidding on the 2024 summer Olympic games.
Boston, Washington DC, San Francisco and Los Angeles are the final four cities. Dallas and San Diego were the last two cities eliminated. Now the USOC will weigh bids from these cities to narrow it to one city by 2017.
