On the Cable’s ‘info’ button all i see is a list of sports that will be shown in a 16 block hour of olympics. Is there a site that shows when each sport will be shown or in what order they will be shown? ---

Can’t find anything online (nice job, [NBC.com](http://NBC.com)!) but the network is intermittently running the schedule for each channel on the bottom of the screen, including a breakdown of start times for the different event coverage. ---

And with a little more digging I find [this site](http://nbcolympics.zap2it.com/tv/grid.jsp?state=0&from=1092510000000&stations=11705_16300_10139_11207_10057_10239_20459_&zone=-5_1&genre=) which is a bit more comprehensive. ---

The [Chicago Tribune](http://www.chicagotribune.com) has a list that is broken down into 2-6 hour chunks of time for network and cable stations. You’ll have to register, all times are Central, etc. The link is near the top of the front page. ---

I couldn’t find a good local one so I’m using the [Athens Olympic Site](http://www.athens2004.com/athens2004/) listing down the right side and making the 7 hour adjustment. It has the times to the minute. So I could watch Phelps and Thorpe etc without listening to commentators drone on. ---

Here’s a “schedule by sport”. I’m not sure the TV people know exactly what they are going to show. [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4688152/](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4688152/)
