Over in the US, NBC's hispanic network Telemundo has announced their plans. Unlike NBC, which is more sport-inclusive when doing its schedule, Telemundo is bringing a bigger emphasis in football, with its daily schedule being extended to 12 hours during game days (up from 6 hours during non-football days), partly due to the Hispanic population's demographic. A two-hour wrap-up show will air every night at midnight (Eastern time), with the network's prime time schedule (mostly made of original series, Turkish dramas and multi-night reality show franchises) most likely to be retained during the event.

Their longtime Olympic track by Marc Cholette and John Doerr has gotten a contemporary remix by Orin Isaacs.
