They have not announced any, but OTOH they haven't announced their full coverage yet so....

yes, at least in Continental Europe they already announced every event will be live and ondemand (this time we're going to have also the Luge and Ski Jumping official training runs/jumps, together with the usual M & W Downhill in Alpine Skiing)

 

unfortunately (or luckily ), there will not be any live coverage of my personal Olympic Opener on Feb. 5th, when, instead of enjoying some Curling/Hockey/Skiing, I will be on the dentist's chair to have the extraction of a molar

Not broadcasting related, but media related. The Washington Post (the third largest newspaper in the US) will not send anyone to cover the Winter Olympics. The decision appears to be sudden and surprising to the staff of the paper.

Deciding to cancel your coverage, after most of the costs have already been made. 😳
