Going for Gold Coverage: NBC Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics

The Olympics are all about stats, so here’s some impressive numbers.

  • 3,600 hours of coverage spread over 7 different NBC-Universal owned channels
  • 2,200 hours of video users can watch on their computers live or on-demand
  • 25 sports featured online only
  • 24/7 coverage of the games via mobile access through NBCOlympics2Go
  • 1 Billion dollar research lab for tracking users across all platforms
