I don't think that the owner of the Olympics sublets any coverage.

Here are preliminary listings from the owner (subject to change and all that blah):
  • Day 1: CNBC: 2:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. ET: Shooting - Women's Air Rifle Gold Medal Final
    Day 3: MSNBC: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. ET: Shooting - Men's Air Rifle Gold Medal Final
    Day 4: MSNBC: 2:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m ET: Shooting - Men's Double Trap Gold Medal Final
    Day 6: MSNBC: 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. ET: Shooting - Men's Running Target Gold Medal Final
    Day 7: Bravo: 5:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. ET/PT: Shooting - Men's Rifle Prone Gold Medal Final
    Day 9: Bravo: Midnight - 1:00 a.m. ET/PT: Shooting - Men's Skeet Gold Medal Final
No 3P; Zero pistol coverage (OMG, handugns!)

If you have seen any Olympic coverage in the past few Olympics, you know that you only actually see 30 seconds of any sporting event (other than ones which draw lots of viewers and big money - basketball).

Expect to see a total of 5 minutes of shooting during a time slot, filled with human interest stories telling us about some track star's senior prom date.

Hopefully I can catch something on Canadian TV.
