The view from afar is actually very close to home. NBC Sports headquartered at 1 Blachley Road in Stamford, CT plays a pivotal role in broadcasting the Summer Olympics. While Paris is 3,600 milesa away, most of the work happens around the corner in Stamford, CT. The facility, once the manufacturing site of Clairol hair coloring, was opened in 2013 and has hosted six Olympics.
Between the lines: NBC Sports has received $26 million in grants from Connecticut taxpayers. Pretty nice win for NBC.
