Kevin McDonough
July 21, 2012
With the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games less than a week away, NBC counts down the “30 Greatest NBC Olympic Moments” (7 p.m. Saturday). The network’s name in that title means a lot. NBC has held exclusive broadcast rights to the Summer Olympics since 1988 and rights to the Winter Olympics since 2002.

It’s strange when history itself becomes corporate property.
