You would assume that they would have to announce something soon considering the 21 day quarantine period. With less than 30 days until the games, it means that reporters and presenters will most likely have to leave within the next week ---

> [@bacco007](#): > > Can’t start before A Current Affair ends Their version of that is also known as blatant propaganda lmao. Having said that, their main 7pm bulletin takes priority over everything over there (even the events as it seems) so I doubt they would do anything to that and just move the opening ceremony around. ---

NBC will have people on-site in Beijing (eg; Mike Tirico to present the primetime coverage, reporters, technical staff, etc). Today’s announcement is about NBC abandoning their already scaled-back plans to do on-site commentaries for figure skating, alpine skiing & snowboarding and calling everything from NBC Sports’ Stanford headquarters. > **[NBC won't send sports announcing teams to 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing due...](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2022/01/19/winter-olympics-2022-nbc-tv-beijing-covid-19/6585943001/)** > > NBC's broadcasting teams for figure skating, Alpine skiing and snowboarding had been expected to be in Beijing. ---
