The Road To The 2014 Winter Games

February 07, 2014 A Special Request for those now in Sochi. As has been the case with most Olympics since Atlanta, I will be in Sochi with full credentials. I've stopped by and profiled the facilities of dozens of small, medium, and large rightsholding broadcasters over the years, and I also profile the outfit that makes it all possible, host broadcaster OBS. If you are in Sochi, I'd love to stop by to get your contact details and take a few quick pictures. I'm flexible and know how to stay out of the way of your primary job, broadcasting the Olympics to your home country. Please e-mail me at mhallinger@nbmedia.com and I will stop by for a quick chat or card exchange.
