NBC carries it but you have to register with them or pay....I won’t do that.

Heck I recall years ago so many stations carried it....now NBC has the rights only the last I knew.

In reality, ABC and NBC traded off the American rights for a number of years. I think ABC gave up bidding for them when Jim McKay retired. In a move of either pure class or blatant nostalgia, NBC had McKay doing a partial voiceover at the opening program of one of the Winter Games a few years ago, not long before he passed away.

All I know is that NBC made a multi-year deal with the IOC, and I’m not sure how long it goes for. I don’t think any other network even wants to do it anymore.
