NBC has had a lock on the rights to Olympic coverage for decades. I have hated them ever since the '96 games, when they tried to force photographers, parents and video recordings for team use out because they owned rights to all sports. Imagine your kid going to the Olympics and you can't take pictures of them except from way off in the stands!
At that time, they held the rights to ALL the sports and decided what got shown. They wouldn't give anybody info on how much they would sell rights for a sport for, until after the event and they said they would sell groups of four sports for $9,000.00 worldwide. Of course by then the events were over and other than study for the next competition they were useless.
