are all these times EST?
August 4th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Yes, they are EST. Thanks, I’ve just updated the schedule
August 6th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
are these live?
August 7th, 2008 at 12:10 am
Yes they are. Because of the time difference, the early morning hours are LIVE.
August 10th, 2008 at 9:27 am
are the TV showings not applicable for west coast?
August 10th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Well just use the timezone and calculate. It’s likely a 2-3hr time difference depending on your location. If you’re in the USA just go to NBCOlympics.com to check your cable/satellite provider
Good luck

ok, so i live on da westcoast and i checked my tv guide, and it said between 11:00 pm (monday) to 9:00 am tuesday are live olympics
and it says that usa vs angola (M) is somewhere between those times. so, would that mean it would be at 8 am or 5 am for me?
August 11th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
i read somewhere that NBC a lot of times wont have a ‘live’ showing. so what’s live on the east coast a lot of times will be shown as a rerun on the west coast.
August 12th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I’m a little frustrated out here on the west coast. I can’t tell if USA-Angola is going to be on at 11am, or if it was already on. USA-Spain is scheduled at 8am EST Thursday, but I don’t know if that means 5am out here, or if they’re re-broadcasting “live” later in the day. HELP!
August 12th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
I can imagine its annoying but the schedule was taken from the USABasketball website. I was able to see the game this morning live on the east coast at 8am. So for you, waking up at 5/6 am is was appropriate.
Calculate and minus your time zone. Sorry that you missed that game. It was a little ugly anyway..

This is really frustrating. (I’m in California, by the way.) I was watching the USA-China game and, during halftime, I watched some news — and heard the final score! I totally missed the Angola game, tuning in just as USA was celebrating their victory. Are the broadcasts live on the west coast? Where can I find an exact TV schedule for the games (either EDT or PDT)? Thanks.
August 13th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
For local times go to NBC Tv listings. It will show the local time for the basketball games

I just missed most of the USA vs. Greece game. I didn’t wake up early enough! =(
Do you know if and when they will rebroadcast the game and what channel?
August 15th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Anyone know Dish-network has channel 98 (NBC Basketball) on West coast?
August 16th, 2008 at 1:30 am
USA vs Spain
should be broadcasted on NBA at 10AM for West Coast
August 21st, 2008 at 12:46 am
Why can’t they do something so simple as provide a TELEVISION schedule? I remember this from 2004 and they still have not worked it out. I mean, we live in the age of computers, you can get every bit of useless information about crap, but not an Olympic schedule for one’s region. LAME!
August 21st, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Does anyone no the exact time of Friday’s men US game?
