NBC's Beijing Winter Olympics announcing teams will call the games from Connecticut
-
Due to pandemic concerns, NBC Sports has opted not to send any of its announcing teams to China. “The announce teams for these Olympics, including figure skating, will be calling events from our Stamford (Conn.) facility due to COVID concerns,” NBC Sports' Greg Hughes told USA Today. "We’ll still have a large presence on the ground in Beijing and our coverage of everything will be first rate as usual, but our plans are evolving by the day as they are for most media companies covering the Olympics.”
