Where else can we watch the Olympics online in the US?

Where can I watch the 2012 equestrian Olympics, as well as the Kentucky Derby (online)?

• I would really like to watch the summer equestrian events in London but I don't have ESPN, is there anywhere I can watch it online as it's being aired? Or, are any basic cable channels going to show it? I also would like to watch the Kentucky Derby, but, the same problem. I have Netflix and Hulu. Thanks so much! (Go AK!) ;)

• Answer:

  Lylah, NBC and its affiliate networks have the broadcast rights for the Olympic Games this summer, and I know that they will have coverage of the show jumping and possibly of the 3 Day Event, at least. If you can get a local NBC station and have access to any of the NBC owned networks ( MSNBC, USA, CNBC, USN, and the like) then you should be able to see at least some of the Olympic coverage of the horse sports. ESPN is an ABC owned network, and while they will carry highlights, they will not be broadcasting the entire games because they don't own the rights to them. The same story is true for the KD- again, NBC will provide coverage on Derby day starting at around 4 in the afternoon, EDT. You can also watch the Derby on HRTV and TVG, if you have access to those cable/sattelite channels. I'm going to watch the Derby on HRTV because I will be able to see more of the undercard races that way. Also, they will have the Kentucky Oaks on this Friday, which is something that NBC won't carry. And one other thing- Animal Kingdom was LAST YEAR's winner. He won't be running this year.
