NEW YORK, N.Y., Jan. 10 (UPI) -- NBC Tuesday announced it will offer an unprecedented 416 hours of coverage from the Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy.
NBC, USA, MSNBC and CNBC will end up overlapping coverage of events during the games Feb. 10-26, Zap2it.com reported.
Most of the events will be simulcast in high definition as opposed to the Summer Olympics when HDTV broadcasts were delayed, Zap2it.com noted.
Seven-time Olympics broadcaster Bob Costas will helm the network's primetime coverage with Jim Lampley handling day and late-night NBC broadcasts. USA network coverage will be anchored by Bill Macatee.
New this year will be a USA show that will air daily during the figure skating competition called "Olympic Ice." The hosts for the interview/news show were announced Tuesday as Mary Carillo and skating analysts Scott Hamilton and Dick Button.
The opening ceremony will air live on NBC Feb. 10.
