NBC Olympics Online Broadcast
January 11th, 2010
The 2010 Winter Olympics are just over a month away and I can’t help wonder what role online video will play in this years broadcast. I did a quick scan hoping to find mention of NBC’s digital plan but came up with very little. So I’d like to take the liberty of recommending NBC give CBS and IBM a call and ask them to make the olympics as amazing to watch online as the 2009 U.S. Open Tennis Tournament was.
For those of you that aren’t tennis fans or didn’t make it to the U.S. Open website this year. Every match that wasn’t on network TV was accessible LIVE via online streaming -with your computer plugged into a TV you could watch matches, quickly switch between courts, pull up live statistics via overlay, and view live picture in picture.
Far and away the most amazing live video experience I’ve had to date. How awesome would it be to have full live access to the 2010 olympics with those features? Imagine traveling around a map of Vancouver to the various event destinations, being able to watch full coverage of any event.
I’d work from home the entire two weeks if I could have bobsled and luge on 12/14! Has anyone gotten word of what NBC’s planning?
