With thousands of hours of competition video in both live and on-demand formats, NBCOlympics.com's coverage will be powered by MSN and Microsoft technology to complement NBC's broadcast programming.
"Over the past 20 years, we have continually expanded our coverage of the Olympics to new platforms as they have become available, and the
Beijing Games will mark another milestone," said Gary Zenkel, president, NBC Olympics.
"By teaming up with MSN and Microsoft, we can give both the core fan and casual consumer of the Olympic Games an amazing online experience, combining high-quality video with the storytelling and analysis that we're known for. We chose to partner with MSN and Microsoft because technologies such as Silverlight help us deliver the kind of next-generation online viewing experience that will change the way the Olympics is experienced for millions of fans in 2008."
NBCOlympics.com will cover every Olympic summer sport as well as key athletes and events leading up to the 2008 Beijing Games.
