NBC's 2026 Olympics coverage in the U.S. (NBC, USA Network, Peacock for figure skating)

Unfortunate that they apparently won’t have commentators who know anything about pairs or dance.

Having commentators that talk nonstop is much more important than having commentators that know anything about skating

As far as I understand it - Music Rights. I always hope they will have the courage to push that a little bit. Not.

Please go back and find the part of the copyright law where you get a 24 hour music rights exemption. This is BS.

My tip of the day:

I've discovered that as long as I leave the Peacock window open on my laptop while the practice stream is still live, I can rewind the stream until it is deleted eventually. [Link to my 2 posts about Kaori's successful evening practice:] https://x.com/SylviaUnseen/status/2020273211427217445

Next practice livestream listed on Peacock is tomorrow - Sunday 2/8 from 7-9:30 am Eastern time - which corresponds to Ice Dance on the colored practice schedule.

NBC's Primetime broadcast tonight opens with the Team Event Men's SP: Grassl [Aymoz chacked - presumably because France did not qualify for Day 3], Egadze, Kagiyama, Malinin. ETA: Snoop Dogg fluff (segment was taped on Feb. 3 during his rink visit) was shown before Ilia's SP.

I rewound the Team Day 2 feed during the 50 minute break to watch someone I missed. It was the venue feed so maybe that's why it let me.

For some reason the Team Event Day 1 (Venue Feed) never made it to Peacock's replays but Day 2 is available.

NBC is replaying 4 of the 5 of the Team Event free dances now (sorry, LaLa ) - oh, Lajoie/Lagha's FD is on now (I misread the skate order), YAY!

ETA: Chock/Bates' Moms Fluff piece was aired before their FD.

ETA 2: I've posted YT links to both of NBC Sports' fluff pieces in Chock/Bates' and Ilia's fan threads.

FWIW, today's Peacock training (Sun Feb 8) is showing Team Pairs practice in Main Rink at the moment.

It started with approx. eight minutes of Dance in the Practice Rink, but then switched over to Main Rink.

According to my Guide, USA is chacking the 1st group of Dance today. Its not starting the broadcast until 1:45p-2:40 now, then NBC is starting 2:40p. Dammit. Dance were the only 2 days I couldn't take off work.

Yesterday's abbreviated PRIMETIME IN MILAN was after the Superbowl (10:45 p.m.-12 a.m. ET) and showed 4 free skates from the figure skating team event - Glenn, Sakamoto, Malinin, Sato (I wish Kam/O'Shea and Rizzo had been squeezed in as well).

MONDAY, FEB. 9 (DAY 3) - Peacock's Rhythm Dance (Venue Feed) is scheduled to start at 1:20 pm Eastern time.
USA NETWORK
1:20 p.m.-2:40 p.m. Figure Skating – Ice Dance, Rhythm Dance (LIVE)

ETA: Peacock has 2 practice livestreams today - one is happening now (the warmup area is being shown during ice resurfacing between the women's groups) and the other will be the RD warm-up, starting at 11:20 am ET.
