News Access Guidelines (Supplemental)

Revised 6/12/2008

These additional guidelines (the "Supplemental Guidelines") supplement the News Access Guidelines issued with respect to NBC's coverage of the Trials. All defined terms herein retain their meaning from the News Access Guidelines, and except as otherwise set forth herein, all terms and conditions contained in the News Access Guidelines shall remain in full force and effect.

The use of certain material obtained at the Trials may be distributed via the Internet only in compliance with the following conditions:

  1. The only type of content obtained at the Trials that may be distributed via the Internet is interviews with participants (e.g., athletes, coaches, officials) (the "Internet Material"). Internet Material must be captured in designated media interview areas and/or mixed zones, provided that these locations are away from the field of play.
  2. Under no circumstances may any field of play material (e.g., competition or training) be distributed via the Internet. For the avoidance of doubt, it is prohibited to tape any portion of NBC's coverage "off-air" and distribute such coverage via the Internet.
  3. The Internet Material may not be distributed live.
  4. Under no circumstances can anything that resembles or approximates "coverage" (e.g., race calls and other real-time descriptions and accounts of competition) be distributed via the Internet.
  5. Although there is no specific limitation with respect to the length and volume of permissible Internet Material, any such distribution should conform with the spirit of the News Access Guidelines generally.
  6. All Internet Material must be removed from the Internet no later than August 7, 2008.
  7. Internet Material must be accompanied by a link to the appropriate sport front on NBCOlympics.com (e.g., http://www.nbcolympics.com/trackandfield/index.html).
