Comcast’s NBC to Air Live Opening of Olympics

Associated Press: US viewers will get to watch the opening ceremonies of the Tokyo Olympics live. Since Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of New York, interested US residents will be watching the July 23 ceremonies on NBC at 7 am EDT, 4 am EDT in Los Angeles. The global significance of gathering in Tokyo during the pandemic, as well as changing viewing habits, were the main factors in deciding to air the opening live in the morning for the first time.
