Abstract: Coverage of the Seoul Olympics resulted in a quantity of television equipment to be dispersed throughout the NBC Network. As a consequence, the equipment which will result from the NBC coverage of the 1992 summer Olympics [Fig. 1] will have few “good homes” to go to. However, at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the Master Grid is celebrating its 22<sup>nd</sup> birthday, and since it is comprised of relays and DTL logic it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. Hence there seemed to be an ideal linkage between the upcoming Olympics master router acquisition and the planned 1992/93 replacement of the ageing Master Grid. In addition the experience gained in design and operation of a “Digital” Olympic facility would prove very beneficial to the planned refurbishment of 30 Rock.
