After a four year wait we have finally reached the 2012 Summer Games in London. This year's edition of the Olympics will mark the third time that the city of London will host the games. The previous 2 times were in 1908 and 1948. The games in 1944 were originally scheduled to be held in London, but World War II prevented the Olympics from taking place and the city of London was awarded the games in 1948.
The anticipation for the 2012 games has reached its pinnacle as we approach the Opening Ceremonies. The Opening Ceremony is scheduled to take place tomorrow, Friday - July 27th, at the new Olympic Stadium in London. Ceremonies are expected to start around 9 pm local time and 4 pm ET, however the NBC family of networks will not be airing this event live. Instead, the network giant will hold off until prime time and the Opening Ceremony coverage can be viewed on your local NBC station starting at 7:30 pm ET.
