With the Winter Olympics just three weeks away, NBC has made a surprise-yet-familiar pick—Katie Couric—to co-host the opening ceremony in the wake of Matt Lauer’s departure from the network.
The network also announced that the Feb. 9 opening ceremony in Pyeongchang, South Korea will be livestreamed for the first time, ahead of its time-delayed linear airing that evening. Also for the first time in Olympics history, NBC will broadcast its prime-time Olympics coverage live across all time zones.
