    Many people throughout the world will be firmly fixed on the Russian resort town of Sochi as the city plays host to the 22nd Winter Olympics. The Olympics broadcast kicked off in the US at 7:30 pm Eastern last night with a time-delayed showing of the games’ opening ceremonies. As in the past years, matches will be aired at varying times throughout the remainder of the games.

    NBC Sports provides an online programming guide for American viewers, while CBC covers Canada and the BBC maintains a similar listing for those in the UK. Fans in other countries should consult the official Sochi 2014 schedule to determine when and where to watch certain competitions. It should be noted that those of you living in the United States, Canada and many European nations can stream the games live either through the web or on native apps compatible with Apple’s mobile platform.

    If you’re trying to watch the games on a Mac, head on over to the appropriate links for coverage:




    If you’re trying to watch the games on an iOS device, you’ll have to use the appropriate apps:




    Here it should be noted that US users will need to be a cable television subscriber and have their login details handy to stream through NBC’s iOS apps but the network does offer limited time free streaming options. All of the other networks offering television coverage also plan to provide corresponding access to stats and highlights through their websites and iOS apps. Users without streaming access can still follow along via the channels but the App Store also offers several excellent alternatives. Users can use any of the following apps for stats, news and highlights:




    For more options, Apple has provided a full listing of apps featuring Olympics coverage in a special Sochi 2014 section of the App Store.

      Agree, hate the update NBC did, I have been using their News page as my home page for years. Now I have moved on to another. What were they thinking?
