HuskyCaucasian Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Fox, ESPN to Bid on Olympics Rights as NBC Faces Loss News Corp.’s Fox and Walt Disney Co.’s ESPN plan to bid for U.S. rights to televise the 2014 and 2016 Olympics, challenging NBC, which said it would lose money on this month’s Winter Games. Fox’s bid will reflect the costs of producing the Olympic Games, said David Hill, chairman of Fox Sports. CBS Corp. and Time Warner Inc. also are considering a joint bid for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, two people with knowledge of the situation said. There may be nothing worse than an ESPN covered Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox would be terrible and I could imagine that being easily worse than ESPN having the Olympics. Fox's sports coverage is generally terrible.

knightni Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 ESPN's Olympics coverage could be better than you think. They have ABC, ABC Family, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN U, ESPN Classic, and ESPN Deportes; plus, TSN and other international stations. A lot of chances to see a lot of events live on TV.

I'm not disputing the outlets available. The actual commentary and coverage is going to be annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
