Bettman sees value in NHL's Olympic break, especially coming off success of 4 Nations

On Sunday night, NBCUniversal announced Snoop Dogg will join its Milan-Cortina Games coverage in February, with the Winter Olympics running Feb. 6 through Feb. 22.
Because of his Paris 2024 work, NBC and producers cited Snoop Dogg’s ability to amplify athletes’ moments and his two Sports Emmys when rehiring him.
In a Sunday-night clip, NBC showed Snoop Dogg in Team USA regalia and said he will speak with NBC host Mike Tirico and cheer alongside athletes, friends and families at numerous events.
NBCUniversal said it expects Snoop Dogg’s return to engage viewers, celebrate athletes and their families, and use his broad appeal to boost fan engagement at the Milan-Cortina Games.
This repeat booking signals NBCUniversal's strategy to blend entertainment and sports, using Snoop Dogg's cross-platform popularity to sustain Paris 2024 momentum for future Olympic broadcasts.
