Where can I watch the Olympics and when?

CTV will broadcast approximately 18 hours of first-run Olympic coverage per day. It is broken down into three windows.

• Olympic Morning (hosts Dave Randorf and Catriona Le May Doan) will air from 4:00am ET until 12:00pm ET.
• Olympic Daytime (hosts James Duthie and Jennifer Hedger) will air from 12:00pm until 6:00pm ET.
• Olympic Primetime (host Brian Williams) will provide highlights of the top events of the day, including any Canadian medal performances. It will air from 7:00pm until 11:00pm LOCAL (8-midnight in Atlantic Canada). This broadcast will re-air following local news at midnight LOCAL (1:00am in Atlantic Canada).
• CTV’s coverage will mainly focus on full coverage of the big events (athletics, swimming, diving, rowing and gymnastics), as well as live highlights of other big events taking place.

TSN will broadcast approximately 15 hours of Olympic coverage per day. It is also broken down into three windows.

• Olympic Morning (host Kate Beirness) will air from 6:00am until 12:00pm ET.
• Olympic Daytime (host Michael Landsberg) will air from 12:00pm until 5:00pm ET.
• Olympic Primetime (host Darren Dutchyshen) will feature highlights from earlier in the day and usually air from 7:00pm-11:00pm ET. Some nights, due to conflicts with live CFL broadcasts, it will air on TSN2.
• TSN’s flagship highlights show SportsCentre will also air live from London (host Jay Onrait) between Olympic Daytime and Primetime most nights.
• TSN’s coverage will focus on some major events, as well as smaller ones. It will also include long-form coverage of many team sports like basketball, beach volleyball and soccer.

Sportsnet will also broadcast approximately 15 hours of coverage per day. Again, broken into three windows.

• Olympic Morning (host Don Taylor) will air from 6:00am until 12:00pm ET.
• Olympic Daytime (host Daren Millard) will air from 12:00pm until 5:00pm ET.
• Olympic Primetime (host Brad Fay) will usually air from 7:00pm until 11:00pm ET on Sportsnet East and Ontario, MT on Sportsnet West and PT on Sportsnet Pacific. Check your local listings to confirm these times in your area.
• Sportsnet Connected (host Ken Reid) will also air live from London from 5:00pm until 7:00pm ET every night of the Games.
• Sportsnet’s coverage is similar to TSN’s with a big focus on long-form coverage of team sports.

OLN will broadcast live long-form coverage of outdoor events like equestrian on many days. Their coverage varies day-to-day, so check back for updates (or see CTV’s Viewers’ Guide).

NBC will broadcast approximately 11 hours of first-run Olympic coverage per day. Their coverage is also broken down into three windows.

• Olympic Daytime (hosts Al Michaels and Dan Patrick) will usually air from 10:00am until 5:00pm Eastern and 9:00am until 4:00pm Pacific (a one hour tape delay for those who receive NBC from Seattle or Spokane). Daytime coverage will start early on the weekends for complete coverage of the road races in cycling and marathons in athletics.
• Olympic Primetime (host Bob Costas) will usually air from 8:00pm until midnight ET/PT. It will begin, and end, an hour earlier on Sundays. It will also re-air at 1:35am ET/PT.

• Most of the major events will only air on NBC on tape delay in Primetime. These include swimming finals, athletics finals, major beach volleyball games, gymnastics and diving. NBC’s Daytime coverage will feature live coverage of other sports, usually including USA water polo and/or volleyball matches.

CNBC and MSNBC are both American cable channels that are available in Canada. While they are showing Olympic coverage in the US, their coverage is usually blacked out here in Canada.

Columbia/DPR Korea football game delayed. The Korean players were introduced on the scoreboard during pre-game and the South Korean was flag was shown, instead of their real flag. They wouldn't come out on the field and were thinking of forefiting.

They've now taken the field after 25 minutes of delibration within their dressing room.

Are the opening ceremonies tomorrow afternoon being broadcast live? The TV schedule shows a 2 PM start time which seems odd.
