I read the other day that ABC provides not just two feeds, but feeds
on request for ALL of every event.  Each nation has to provide its
own commentary. ABC broadcasts 140 hours of the Olympics to the USA.
CBC broadcasts 200 hours to Canada, *some* of which doesn't have
any Canadians participating. It's all provided by ABC, and the
technical quality seems to be excellent.
