Excellent reception, in Portuguese.

Well, right now, despite the NBC delay, the Opening Ceremony of the Rio Olympics is happening.  I had thought RN would offer some coverage of the Ceremony, especially since a month ago they afforded Copa America live coverage as it was contested on a different continent - not so.

2230z OM and YL discussing news items including olympics (but not live coverage)
0205z Coverage of the speech welcoming everyone to Olympic games (NBC is showing teams still marching in)  In english "Rio is ready to make history" - IOC President?
