TV Schedule For the 2012 London Olympics
* Asterisk indicates that there were no timeslots available for individual events.
** Telecasts on cable will typically at the same ‘time’ nationwide (e.g., an event at 12:30 PM ET will air at 11:30 AM CT, 10:30 AM MT, and 9:30 AM PT). Telecasts on the NBC broadcast network, however, will air on a delay in the Mountain and Pacific time zones. An event at 12:30 PM ET would air at 11:30 AM CT, 11:30 AM MT, and 12:30 PM PT.
All events that NBC did not designate as ‘live’ are assumed to air on tape delay
