This week in several articles we mentioned that NBC has set up a web site, in cooperation with YouTube to provide access to every event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Many readers have asked us how to know if they are able to watch the Olympics online for free.
To watch the 2012 Olympics online for free you must already subscribe to a cable or satellite provider which currently provides you with access to CNBC or MSNBC in your programming. If you are not sure, you can simply go to the NBCOlympics.com web site to find out.
The NBCOlympics.com web site not only allows you to watch recorded and live events from the games in London for free, it also has a complete searchable schedule to find the events, or highlight videos from past events, which you want to watch online. Users can search by event, competitor or country to find video coverage.
In addition to watching videos of current or past events, you can also set up reminders to alert you when your favorite events are about to air. With the free online coverage for computers and mobile devices, in addition to the television coverage, this is the most comprehensive coverage of the Olympic games ever for NBC. The coverage includes all 32 events and over 3500 hours of video coverage.
