In this video, we break down the hidden business mechanics of how one American network (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympics_on_NBC) gained enough leverage to alter global sports schedules, force athletes to compete at odd hours, and completely restructure how the host nations operate. From the high-stakes bidding wars of the 1980s and the invention of psychological "broadcast magnets," to the creation of the Olympic Broadcasting Services and the transition into the streaming era with Peacock—this is the untold story of how the Olympics transformed from a pure athletic competition into a sophisticated, multi-billion-dollar television product.
