Link: NBCU Outlines Networks' Olympic Lineups - 7/8/2008 4:30:00 PM - Multichannel News
The short of it:
NBC will be broadcasting ALL OF THE OLYMPICS in High Definition using these networks:
NBC, USA, MSNBC, CNBC, Oxygen, Telemundo and Universal HD
Dish subscribers WILL NOT see a large portion of it in HD because it will be on MSNBC-HD (launching soon), Oxygen HD and Telemundo HD.
Made the obligatory calls and emails and those channels, as one CSR said, are "Not on any upcoming HD lists that I have seen."
This could be a disaster since one of the most popular events, gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics, will both be on Oxygen HD.
IF true, this is very disappointing. I thought that with the recent addition of several NBCU channels in HD, things would be ironed out. But it looks like one will have to switch to Direct to get all the olympics in HD.
