are all these times EST?
Yes, they are EST. Thanks, I’ve just updated the schedule
are these live?
Yes they are. Because of the time difference, the early morning hours are LIVE.
are the TV showings not applicable for west coast?
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?
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.
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!
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.
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?
Anyone know Dish-network has channel 98 (NBC Basketball) on West coast?
USA vs Spain
should be broadcasted on NBA at 10AM for West Coast
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!
Does anyone no the exact time of Friday’s men US game?
howdy, great article.
