THE GAMES ON TELEVISION

Sunday, February 12, 2006

It's Olympics time, which means virtually nonstop coverage on NBC and its cable networks. For each day, we've included the full TV schedule of sporting events, with a separate box spotlighting a marquee competition in prime time on NBC.

Two nightly features also will air: "Olympic Ice," a daily figure-skating show at 6 on USA, and "Olympic Zone," a 30-minute preview at 7:30 Monday through Saturday on NBC. The schedule is subject to change -- for updates, visit www.nbcolympics.com.
