For the upcoming Paris Olympics NBC Sports has announced it plans to broadcast the opening ceremony on the larger than life IMAX screens, marking it the first major network to offer such an immersive viewing experience of the Olympics. 

This decision by NBC Sports reflects a growing trend in sports broadcasting to enhance the viewer experience through cutting-edge technology. 

By leveraging IMAX technology, NBC aims to attract viewers who crave a more immersive and cinematic experience, potentially expanding the reach of Olympic coverage beyond traditional television audiences. 

I feel like this innovative approach will not just make for a better viewing experience, but also serve as a new viewing opportunity for sports fans in  the ongoing evolution of sports broadcasting in the digital age.
