Torino Olympics

Alameda Power & Telecom is proud to present NBC's complete coverage of the 2006 Winter Olympics from Torino. We're talking hundreds of hours on multiple channels 24 hours day, 7 days a week.

From February 10th through the 26th, you'll have the opportunity to watch the most in-depth Olympic broadcasting in history appearing exclusively on the NBC Universal networks.

The Torino Olympics will showcase the most live coverage ever of a Winter Games, despite the six-hour time difference between the U.S. East Coast and Italy, and will feature the most high definition coverage in Olympic television history.

High Definition!

The Torino Games will feature the most high definition coverage in Olympic television history. For the first time, Olympic HD viewers will see a simulcast of the analog broadcast - same time, same broadcasters, same graphics - but in High Definition and in 5.1 surround sound.

Figure skating, hockey, long and short track speed skating, ski jumping, freestyle aerials and moguls, and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies will all be broadcast. Your local NBC affiliate's digital channel will carry the high definition simulcast of the network coverage.

For the First Time Ever - Video On Demand

For the first time ever, NBC Universal will make Olympic video available Free On Demand during the Games. VOD content will feature more than 12 hours of coverage including daily 10-minute highlight videos and ten one-hour figure skating programs on participating cable and satellite systems, recapping the previous day's competition. Before the Games begin, free On Demand video will feature 21 programs, each approximately five minutes in length, including previews of many of the U.S. athletes expected to compete in Torino.

And Online!

NBCOlympics.com, America's online home of the Torino Games, will provide live results, up-to-the-minute TV listings, breaking news, feature stories and a video intensive digital media experience never before offered by an American television network.
