For the 2010 Olympics the Networks of NBC plan to air over 800 hours of coverage across 6 networks. Which is nearly twice the amount of coverage of the 2006 Winter Olympics. However only two events (Ice Hockey and Curling) will be available for live streaming on the internet a step backwards from the 2008 Summer Olympics when a large number of events were streamed live. Bob Costas will return as NBC's primetime Olympic host.
The 2010 Olympics will be the first winter games to be 100% available in HDTV and this will also be the first games for which all of NBC's networks airing Olympic coverage have HD simulcast versions.
