· For the first time, all 1,000 hours of NBC’s online content from the 2014 Winter Games will be accessible directly on the biggest screen in the house through the availability of the NBC Sports Live Extra app on Comcast’s X1 Platform. The significance of this is that on any given day, up to 25 live streams will showcase every single event at NBCOlympics.com and on the NBC Sports Live Extra app.
· Football fans have grown accustomed to watching the best moments of the game with the Red Zone Channel. Multiple events happening at the same time inspired something similar for the Olympics. As a result, NBC created the “Gold Zone” for the Olympics which will automatically highlight Olympics events if a medal is about to be awarded. Gold Zone is available on TV through the X1 Platform as well as through the NBC Sports Live Extra app.
