Best Answer

The 1936 Summer Games in Berlin were televised to folks in Germany that had access to special 'television booths' that were located in Berlin and Potsdam. Three cameras were used and a total of 72 hours of coverage were televised.

The first commercially televised Olympics in the US was the 1960 Winter Olympics. CBS bought the rights for $50,000. NBC bought the rights to telecast the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2012 Summer Olympics for a total of $2,201,000,000.
