Coverage on NBC of the Olympics

By Michael Geheren

Anyone that has HD and watched the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics knows how crystal clear and amazing quality it was. NBC is televising 3,600 hours of coverage on seven networks: NBC, USA, MSNBC, CNBC, Oxygen, Telemundo, and Universal HD.  According to NBC.com, "The 3,600 hours of this years coverage is 1,000 hours more than the total coverage of every summer televised Olympic games in U.S history." There will be more than 2,900 hours of live coverage on all NBC networks. This is the first live primetime coverage of the Olympics since Atlanta. Another feature is NBCOlympics.com, which will stream more than 1,200 hours of live coverage and more than 3,000 hours of highlights. NBC is taking on a huge challenge. I am excited for this amazing coverage and will be one of the millions of viewers.

In the Disney Channel Games, Disney stars are competing against one another in Olympic-style events and challenges. But they're also working together and with kids from around the world to try to achieve victory. How important has teamwork been to you in the sports and games you have played? Is teamwork more important than winning? How do you and your friends work together in things other than sports and games?
