Probably the sane reason it took years for them to stream NBC Sports coverage of Le Tour De France instead of coverage commentated by one slightly drunk British guy in a phone booth. These Olympics were organized before streaming was as common, and advertising deals were arranged sometimes years in advance. Advertisers want to advertise on exclusive first run coverage, not a rerun. > It seems like the Primetime coverage of events like gymnastics and Track, > even when taped from earlier in the day, is “Live to tape”, and the NBC > talent fir these events is on site in Tokyo and doing their jobs as the > event takes place.
