Overview
- After calling Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, Tirico immediately hosted NBC’s “Primetime in Milan” from the field in a handoff slated for about 10:45 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
- NBC Sports confirmed Monday that Tirico landed in Milan and returned to the air that night to anchor Olympic primetime as scheduled.
- Sports business reporter Joe Pompliano reported NBC used two Bombardier Global 7500s for the trip, departing California around 1:30 a.m. local and arriving near 9 p.m. in Milan after roughly 10–11 hours in the air.
- News outlets reported Tirico became the first U.S. broadcaster to call the Super Bowl and host Olympic coverage in the same year.
- NBCU framed the pairing as a unified ‘Legendary February’ strategy, with the handoff carried on Peacock and a promoted 4K HDR presentation spanning both Super Bowl and Winter Olympics coverage.
