With coverage of the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics beginning February 8th, NBC and Apple have announced a partnership to bring original content to Apple users for tracking up-to-the-minute coverage of the games for the next two weeks.

Located in the “For You” section of Apple News, feature videos, articles, infographics, and a selection of sources will bring users updates on events as they unfold. The feature will also incorporate a planner for viewers to figure out when specific events are scheduled, and lets users add events they want to watch to their calendars as well.

Users will also be able to view video from the games in the News app and have access to curated articles from various Apple News partners as well. The partnership also allows enthusiasts access to a real-time medal tracker to find results from events instantly, and the News widget on iPhone and iPad can be used to track results without having to launch the app.

Though Sports coverage has never been in Apple’s wheelhouse, the addition of a sports tab for Apple TV may have indicated the foundations for stepping into the Olympic Arena.

For full Olympic coverage, tune into NBC starting Thursday, Feb. 8th. Opening Ceremonies are set to air live through NBC’s app and website at 6 a.m. EST/3 a.m. PST, or the delayed broadcast at 8PM on your local NBC channel.

Roswell's thin air made a T-6 crew chief start his tuning over

Roswell's thin air made a T-6 crew chief start his tuning over

Charlie Duffy, crew chief for Greg McNeely's race 90 T-6, says the engine numbers his crew learned over years at Reno do not work in Roswell's thinner air. Running 2,400 rpm and 70 gallons an hour, against a stock Smithsonian rating of 450 hp at 2,100 rpm, the crew is rebuilding its data from telemetry in the National Championship Air Races' second year at Roswell.

  • 01Race 90's engine runs at 2,400 rpm burning 70 gallons an hour, against the 450 hp at 2,100 rpm the Smithsonian lists for a stock R-1340 Wasp.
  • 02The National Championship Air Races left Reno-Stead after the 2023 event and started at Roswell in 2025, so no T-6 crew has more than two Septembers of Roswell data.
  • 03Duffy saved no telemetry from the first Roswell year; this season he is logging cylinder-head temperature, fuel flow and pressure to set the plane up for 2027.

Plano's mayor says Willow Bend is a district, not a Stars arena with parking

Plano's mayor says Willow Bend is a district, not a Stars arena with parking

Plano Mayor John Muns characterizes the proposed Dallas Stars arena site at Willow Bend as a mixed-use entertainment district with shopping, housing, offices, and hotels, not merely a parking lot with an arena. Voters will decide the venue tax proposition in November, pending release of final renderings that show the full scope of a development already approved as a base plan before the Stars expressed interest.

  • 01Willow Bend was approved as a mixed-use development before the Stars came to Plano; the arena is an addition to an existing plan for shopping, restaurants, housing, and office space.
  • 02Plano has grown from roughly 25,000 residents in 1970 to over 300,000 today, making it the ninth-largest city in Texas, and the mayor argues the metropolitan center has shifted north from Dallas toward Plano.
  • 03Plano's strategy relies on redevelopment of existing sites rather than greenfield development; past examples include AT&T's headquarters on the former EDS campus and the Kintetsu Miyako Hotel on the old JCPenney campus.
