In Shoreditch’s uber-trendy Electric Light Station several weeks back, some of the UK’s biggest disabled stars gathered to usher in Channel 4’s coverage of the Paralympics, and there was fire in their bellies.

The evening featured talks and appearances from the likes of wheelchair basketball star-turned presenter Ade Adepitan, Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis and The Last Leg host Adam Hills, all of whom will play a part in Channel 4’s coverage when the games kick off next Wednesday. Titled ‘Considering What?’, the network’s Paralympics ad was also unveiled, which challenges the notion that disabled athletes are often dismissed with epithets such as “she’s good… for someone in a wheelchair,” when in fact they face the same battle against gravity, friction and time as able-bodied Olympians. Onlookers were inspired by the ad.

In keeping with the name, the atmosphere was electric and the drumbeat...

The 2024 Paris Olympics gets underway in earnest with the Opening Ceremony on Friday, July 26, with coverage underway beginning at noon p.m. Et/9 a.m. Pt. It will serve as the official kickoff of the games, which runs for 16 days of competition through August 11.

NBC and Peacock will present live coverage of the ceremony in a currently rainy Paris beginning at noon Et, hosted by Mike Tirico, Kelly Clarkson and Peyton Manning. NBCU sibling Telemundo will provide Spanish-language coverage starting at 1 p.m. Et.

Primetime coverage will begin at 7:30 p.m. Et/Pt on NBC and Peacock.

In addition to the hosts, NBC Sports’ Maria Taylor will be on the Team USA boat, while Today hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb will set up alongside a bridge along the route.

For the first time ever, the Opening Ceremony for the Olympic Games Paris 2024 will include a commercial-free hour. Starting at 1:30 p.m. Et on Friday, NBC and Peacock will air the ceremony without ads.

Of course, nothing in this world is ever really for free. This ad-free hour is sponsored by six Team USA partners: The Coca-Cola Company, Delta, Lilly, Toyota Motor Corporation, Visa and Xfinity. Brand logos for each sponsor will appear onscreen throughout the hour and rotate in 10-minute increments.

“We are proud to partner with these six Team USA partners to bring fans the first-ever commercial-free hour of coverage for an Opening Ceremony,” Dan Lovinger, president of Olympic and Paralympic Partnerships for NBCUniversal, said in a statement to press. “The Opening Ceremony will be packed with emotion and evoke a profound sense of unity for everyone watching. Running commercial-free will help to amplify this grand spectacle.

Can six Olympics advertisers come together to create an hour of the Paris extravaganza that runs commercial-free?

Coca-Cola Co., Delta, Eli Lilly & Co., Toyota Motor Corp., Visa, and Comcast’s Xfinity will sponsor a live hour of coverage of the Olympics Games Opening Ceremony that will air without the traditional interruptions from advertisers. In their place? Each member of the Madison Avenue sextet will have its logo appear in the upper right-hand corner of the screen during the program for approximately ten minutes, according to Dan Lovinger, president of Olympic and Paralympic partnerships for NBCUniversal, and those familiar markings will roll out in alphabetical order. A graphic will appear on screen at the top of the hour with all six sponsor logos, telling viewer that the hour is sponsored by them.

NBC says the hour marks the first time that any part of the coverage of the glitzy Opening Ceremony...

NBC and Peacock will rebroadcast the finale gala in an “enhanced primetime presentation” beginning Sunday night at 8 p.m. Et/5 p.m. Pt.

NBC’s figure skating commentators Terry Gannon, Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir — who were plenty busy during the controversial women’s figure skating competition — will host coverage on NBC and Peacock, with the broadcast also streaming on NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app via authentication. Andrea Joyce and NBC News’ Sam Brock and Anne Thompson will serve as on-site reporters.

Sunday’s primetime coverage on NBC and Peacock will be led by Mike Tirico and kicks off at 7 p.m. Et/4 p.m. Pt with “Olympic Gold,” a look...

No Federer. No Nadal. No (defending champion) Thiem. And now no Serena. The New York-based U.S. Open starts on Monday, and Novak Djokovic is, once again, feeling underappreciated, especially as he goes for the Grand Slam. Assuming he doesn’t stub a toe, he should reach that goal, lack of applause — or added asterisks — be damned.

The truth is, the female competitors — even without Serena Williams in the competition — will, and should, be what draws the viewers. “It’s very exciting to have this many women with very different games, playing with power and touch,” said Joel Drucker, who has covered the tennis world for many years.

“I think the women have always had compelling stories and can definitely drive and sustain ratings,” adds Andrea Joyce, who has covered the Open on TV for decades. “It’s a reflection of the culture and times we live in. Coming off the Olympics,...

With the 2021 Summer Games just weeks away, the NBC Olympics team is full steam ahead.

The network announced on Thursday that veteran broadcasters Mary Carillo, Andrea Joyce and Jimmy Roberts will once again serve as NBC Olympics commentators this summer in Tokyo. The Opening Ceremony of the 2021 Games is Friday, July 23 on NBC.

Including this summer’s Tokyo Games, the trio will have worked at nearly 50 Olympics. Carillo and Roberts will serve as correspondents in Tokyo, while Joyce serves as a reporter at the gymnastics competition and handles play-by-play for rhythmic gymnastics. Carillo will also call tennis and open-water swimming.

Tokyo marks Mary Carillo’s 15th Olympic assignment. Since the 2008 Games, she has covered the people, culture and history of each host country. A two-time Peabody winner, Carillo served as a correspondent for the 2014 Sochi Olympics and was the host and interviewer for a retrospective documentary on Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding.

Figure skater Mirai Nagasu has done it again, landing the rare and incredibly difficult triple axel — this time while competing in the Winter Olympics. The feat makes her the first U.S. female figure skater to land the jump during an Olympic competition.

Completing the triple axel at the start of her free skate in the figure skating team event on Monday morning (Sunday evening stateside) already set her apart from her competitors, all before she had even left the rink: None of the other women even planned to attempt the triple axel, which requires a forward takeoff and three-and-a-half rotations in the air.

Tara Lipinski has officially found her happily ever after.

The former figure skater said ‘I do’ to Fox sports producer Todd Kapostasy Saturday evening in an ultra-romantic affair at dreamy Middleton Place in Charleston, South Carolina, after two years of dating.

Lipinski, 35, walked down a 200-foot aisle in a Reem Acra gown featuring a 20-foot tulle skirt designed by Laura Basci, and Charlotte Olympia pumps. Her bridesmaids wore floral head wreaths, while the flower girls clutched baskets made by Lipinski’s mom, Pat.

“I feel so lucky that I get to spend the rest of my life loving my best...

Tara Lipinski is one gorgeous bride-to-be!

The former Olympic figure skater gave People an inside look at her “homey, intimate” pre-wedding celebration with 30 close friends and family members, including “bridesman” Johnny Weir. The April 15 party at her Los Angeles pad had a romantic, pastel aesthetic and was organized by Lipinski’s mother, Patricia.

“She designed the whole thing without telling me a word!” Lipinski, 34, tells People. “I know she started planning back in October, so it was a huge surprise to see all that she did. It was everything I could have dreamed of — and more.”

The shower actually kicked...

It was not the normal enthusiastic Tribeca Film Festival crowd at the Bmcc Theater on Friday for the premiere of Espn’s “Mike and the Mad Dog,” a new documentary about New York Sports Talk Show hosts Mike Francesa and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo, whose Wfan sports talk radio show reigned supreme for 19 years.

When producer and Tribeca executive vice president Paula Weinstein mispronounced Francesa’s name during her introduction, the crowd erupted like she had just fumbled an easy ground ball. When Weinstein jokingly responded that she was “a story-film person,” not a sports person, the crowd got even louder, and it became clear she was alone – everyone present was a sports fan there to see the legendary duo together again after having split up in 2008.

The documentary, which will premiere on Espn in July, was an all-access look at how the daily five-and-a-half hour talk show radically changed...

New York -- "Today" co-host Matt Lauer, already in China for his daily gig, will co-anchor with Bob Costas coverage of Friday's Olympics opening ceremony.

NBC said Sunday that the coverage of the tape-delayed event will begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday instead of the previously planned 8 p.m. Costas and Lauer will be joined by NBC's Andrea Joyce, Bob Neumeier, Richard Engel and Peter Alexander.

During the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy, "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams was co-host of the opening ceremonies. And in previous Olympics, former "Today" co-host Katie Couric had worked with Costas.

Not that Lauer is an Olympics rookie. He has worked six Olympics for NBC. Costas will work eight for the sports division, including seven as primetime host.

Meanwhile, NBC Universal said that it had reached deals with a number of cable companies to provide Vod, HD, broadband and other Olympics-related content. Included are Time Warner Cable, Comcast Cable, Cox Communications, Mediacom and Bright House Communications.

The Vod offerings include daily sports highlights plus some of the most interesting events, along with 225 hours on NBC HD and 379 of simulcasts of CNBC and Msbc coverage, along with other HD content.
