How To Watch The London Olympics

There have never been so many ways to watch the Olympics.

This is the first year that every single event will be live-streamed on the web. NBC plans to air 5,535 hours of Olympics programming. On top of the coverage on its TV channels — MSNBC, CNBC, BRAVO, NBC Sports Network and its Spanish-language network Telemundo — NBC plans to offer 3,500 hours of live programming and on-demand videos on its website nbcolympics.com. In some cases, there will be multiple live web streams for a single sport, for example every track and field event, and each apparatus for gymnastics. But you’ll need to be a cable subscriber to access most of that content.

NBC: Stream Olympics Events Live
NBC: Olympics Schedule

This is the first summer Olympics of the mobile era. During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the iPhone was only a year old and there were no iPads. There are now hundreds of millions of Internet-connected phones and tablets. If you’re a cable subscriber, NBC’s app will let you watch all of its live-streaming and on-demand videos on-the-go. Those without a cable subscription can use NBC’s second-tier app offering video highlights, news, results and schedules.

You did not give full information regarding what is required to watch the online streaming of the Olympics. It is not sufficient for you to just have a cable account, that account must also subscribe to both MSNBC and CNBC channels. Although this is common, it is not the case with all cable subscriptions. Please tell your listeners of this requirement.
