However, we probably aren't going to see a single live event in prime time until Rio in 2016 (1 hour ahead of New York) because of the time differences. London 2012's organizers have been given a strict midnight (7 PM Eastern) deadline because the London Underground wants to shut down for the night around 01:00, and Sochi 2014 is eight hours ahead of New York, so the sun will be rising towards the end of the broadcast. -- David J.
