NBC to keep Olympics for basically forever - Uncle Wig - 05-08-2014
Ugh. Their miserable coverage will run through 2032.

The Olympics are in decline. NBC is welcome to them.

I don't understand why the rights to distribute coverage of an international event are restricted.
I would mind NBC's stranglehold less if the company that owns the pipes didn't also own the content (e.g. Comcast.)
The two should be divested.
