NBC Sports announced its lineup of daytime hosts for the Summer Olympics in Paris, with several familiar names returning to the lineup.
Mike Tirico, Rebecca Lowe, Craig Melvin, Ahmed Fareed, and Damon Hack will serve as daytime hosts for this summer’s coverage on NBC. Lowe and Melvin will handle the mid-morning to early afternoon coverage, with Tirico hosting in the afternoon. Fareed hosts the end of NBC’s daytime coverage, reports live from Paris, and will also cohost with Lowe when Melvin is occupied with NBC News assignments. Hack will host in the late afternoon windows for NBC’s West Coast affiliates.
NBC’s coverage will air from 9 a.m. ET to 6 p.m. ET (and 8 a.m. CT/MT to 5 p.m. CT/MT) each weekday. On weekends, the start time will shift to as early as 5 a.m. ET.
This is Tirico’s fifth Olympics with NBC. He’ll also host primetime coverage and the Opening Ceremony for the fourth time and will host the Closing Ceremony for the third time.
2024 will mark Lowe’s sixth Olympics for NBC, serving as a daytime host for all six.
Melvin has worked as a host and reporter at several Olympics for both NBC and NBC News, including 2016 (reporter), 2018 (NBC News), 2021 (NBC News), and 2022 (primetime weekend host).
While this is Fareed’s first Olympics hosting assignment for NBC, it’s his fifth overall. He hosted on USA in 2016, 2021, and 2022 and on NBCSN in 2018.
This is Hack’s third Olympics for NBC, previously serving as a biathlon reporter in 2018 and hosting coverage for NBCSN in 2021.
