This year, NBC’s coverage of the Summer Olympics in Paris will have an NFL flavor.
NFL Red Zone host Scott Hanson and NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano will anchor a Gold Zone whiparound show during the 2024 Olympics, NBC announced Wednesday morning. The show will air on Peacock for two weeks from July 27 to Aug. 10, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the East Coast.
“With up to 40 events happening simultaneously during the Paris Olympic Games, Gold Zone will present viewers with the best and most compelling moments happening at any time,” the network said in a statement. “Gold Zone’s daily offering will provide viewers with the most comprehensive and all-encompassing live whip-around coverage of any Olympic Games to date.”

Hanson and Siciliano are familiar to American sports fans from their gigs hosting similar NFL-themed whip-arounds. Hanson hosts NFL Red Zone, while Siciliano hosted DirecTV’s Red Zone Channel from 2005 to ’23.
This will mark Hanson’s first Olympics and Siciliano’s third; the latter hosted Gold Zone for the Sochi and Rio de Janeiro Games in 2014 and 2016, respectively.
