All of the globe's networks are actually using one stream from the Olympic Broadcasting Services http://www.obs.tv/

I found the making of videos they have on that page interesting. Basically the OBS are the ones doing the actual filming and broadcasting of all the Olympic events , and then all the broadcasters of the world rebroadcast that. They also provide all the onscreen graphics.

So NBC could send down a tech crew and an uplink truck and we would still get full coverage of the Olympics minus all the color commentary.

Oh awesome, thanks for the info. I'm watching a CBC stream and it's CBC branded -- but I know NBC and BBC show the same footage, and at least BBC the same commentators.
