To some degree we're both right. From MultiChannel news (which I used to get when I was at KTEH):
"Most of NBC's core feeds will come from host broadcaster Olympic Broadcasting Service Vancouver (OBSV), said Mazza, which will have more than 400 cameras and more than 22 mobile units at the event.
"We will have another 100-plus cameras ourselves and five or six mobile units," he said. "I think the host has about 60 EVS operators and we will have another 45." "
I'm still surprised at the amount of camera they have there - but they still need a lot of them out there for individual interviews at the events. OBS only started their coverage with Beijing, and it looks like NBC had the same commitment at those games (courtesy of BroadcastingCable.)
Remember, this is NBC - the same people who thought they could save money by putting Leno on 5-nights a week.
