I'm going to give you a piece of information that's about to shock your brain.
Do you know where the Winter Olympics is called from?
The broadcast is called from?
by their own admission, because I saw a tour of the facilities while they were doing this, the NBC Sports compound in New Hampshire is where
80% of the Olympics is called.
They are watching it on TV just like you are watching it on TV.
Now, there are people that, of course, are on the ground.
There's the people who do the wrap-up show or they're doing the broadcast and they're in Cortina or in Milan or wherever it is.
But the people who are calling the curling, the luging, the skeleton.
They're in New Hampshire and they're in a studio and they're watching it on TV and they have multiple different views.
They go, they put their cameras there.
The Olympic Committee puts cameras and microphones there.
It all comes together in the NBC facility and it's an amazing technical feat to make it all happen.
38 different studios at any given time that are live doing the calling of these games for NBC.
