As originally written by vlime
Didn't see this yet, but this is NBC's 1992 Summer Olympics schedule, thanks to scans in the Sports Illustrated Vault:
July 25 - 8PM - Midnight
July 26 - 12PM - 6PM, 7PM - 12AM, 12:35AM - 2:05 AM
July 27 - July 31, August 3 - August 7 - 7AM-10AM, 7:30PM-12AM, 12:35AM - 2:05AM
August 1 - 12PM - 6PM, 7:30PM - 12AM, 12:35AM - 2:05AM
August 2 - 8AM - 11AM, 12PM - 6PM, 7PM - 12AM, 12:35AM - 2:05AM
August 8 - 12PM - 6PM, 7:30PM - 12AM, 12:35AM - 2:05AM
August 9 - 8AM - 11AM, 12PM - 6PM, 7PM - 11PM
I noticed on weekdays the daytime schedule was when the Today show was on and then a bit. I completely forgot if they mixed in coverage with the usual Today show, given that it's something on weekdays NBC is usually very reluctant to pre-empt.
