NBCUniversal has won a $3 billion four-year extension of its current Olympics rights deal so it will serve as home of the Games through 2036

NBC has long held the U.S. broadcast rights to the Olympics. When its contract with the IOC was last extended in 2014, NBC would have covered a total of 23 Olympic Games by 2032. The network first broadcast an Olympics in 1964, when the Summer Games were held in Tokyo.
