Cord-cutters to be shut out from NBC’s Rio live-video lineup.

It’s the first Olympic Games that viewers be available to watch live on connected TVs, including Apple TV, Google’s Chromecast, Roku and Amazon Fire devices, and for the first time, NBC broadcast network content including the primetime show will be streamed digitally.

Cord-cutters will be largely shut out from NBC’s Rio live-video lineup. At NBCOlympics.com and via the NBC Sports app, users will be able to stream 30 minutes of coverage for free on their first visit, and then must log in with credentials from a cable, satellite or telco TV provider. On subsequent visits, only 5 minutes of live Olympics video will be available before viewers will be required to sign in.
