Beijing Olympics 2008

The opening ceremony in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics will be televised at 8:08 pm no matter what state you live in. There have been a lot of people trying to figure out at what time they will be able to view it locally; apparently the 8/8/08 at 8:08 date and time is important enough to the Chinese that everyone will see it at that local time.

NBC is the United States TV station that will be televising the Olympic games.

NBC’s Beijing coverage, which will use 2,900 on-site workers, will use 106 broadcasters who’ll be formally announced today. They range from famous faces to TV rookies to TV vets expanding their horizons. NBC and its cable TV channels will air about 3,600 total hours, including 2,900 live hours.

You can check their online listings to get the channels and times of events for your location in the United States.
