Coverage of men’s and women’s soccer will be largely be restricted to NBC affiliates MSNBC and CNBC available on those cable systems that have been an agreement with NBC over Olympic coverage. There will be no live coverage. Since the coverage is taped, the air times are the same for ET and PT (just like regular prime time programming). Except for the U.S. men’s and women’s openers, other sports be be included in the time slot devoted to soccer coverage. All men’s games kick off at 5 a.m. ET except the gold-medal game, which starts at 9:00 p.m. ET (Sept. 29). All women’s first-round games and semifinals kick off 2:30 a.m. ET except the Sept. 13 openers, which start at 2 a.m ET. The women’s bronze-medal game starts at 2 a.m. ET and the gold-medal game at 5 a.m ET. Many Web sites are reporting wrong kickoff times caused by confusion over the local times.The Olympics fall during the change in Australian daylight savings time (moved up so as to not conflict with the Olympcis) and there’s a difference in time between Sydney and two of the soccer venues, Brisbane (one hour) and Adelaide (90 minutes).
