NBC and its associated networks will have limited coverage of fencing during the 2012 Olympics. MSNBC will cover women's fencing events on July 28 and Aug. 1.
To put it into perspective, fencing will have 2 1/2 hours of dedicated television time for the entirety of the Olympics. Meanwhile, beach volleyball will have four hours of dedicated programming on opening day alone.
In that 2 1/2 hours of coverage, NBC will not be focusing on a single men's event.
