NBC plans to be at the negotiating table to bid for rights to televise the 2014 and 2016 Olympics despite the U.S. Olympic Committee's decision to build a competing Olympic network.

NBC spokesman Brian Walker said Sunday that nothing had changed in the network's intentions to bid for the games.

Because of the rough economy, the International Olympic Committee has postponed the bidding for the 2014 and 2016 Olympics, likely until after the 2016 Games are awarded in October. Associated Press
