And didn't the BBC used to share its coverage with ITV? And I've been looking lately at a site on Australian television--in 1956 the Melbourne Games were on BOTH Melbourne TV stations at the time--HSV-7 (which was independent back then because there were no networks yet established--they're now the Seven Network, duh) and ABV-2, the public ABC channel. So it can happen in other countries (but Seven has the exclusive rights this year--in 2012, the Nine Network shared the rights with the cable/satellite provider Foxtel--and three guesses on Foxtel's owner and the first two don't count).
