NBC boosts sports stable

WCSN has rights deals with most but not all Olympic sports, including track and field, gymnastics, swimming, World Cup skiing, beach volleyball and curling. Ruibal said he hopes the association with NBC Universal will help the channel to build distribution, though it likely won't have a place in the extensive coverage NBC Universal is planning for the Summer Games in Beijing.
