Hi:

Does anyone know of a channel in Brazil which will transmit the Olympics in English?

Thanks

@BrasilNY I have ALL the Streaming Networks via EXPRESS VPN with individual sign-ups. I would think streaming it from an American Streamer most likely PEACOCK would be your best bet.


I also have the daily newscast from my old hometown NBC4 channel in Maryland (serving the Washington, VA and DC metro aka DMV). They have been having daily segments (xxx in Paris checking out xxx for the Olympics, "Tommy Tried It" (Entertainment reporter trying out various Olympic Sports...Beach Volleyball, Soccer etc.) I know I will have wall to wall coverage on their local channel.

As a USA veteran I get free TV, including all sports from USA in English without a VPN through AFN Now. Including Olympics. It may not be applicable to you, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case someone else happens to see it.
