NBC Olympics announced today that Dan Patrick, Rebecca Lowe, and Lester Holt will serve as hosts for its coverage of the XXII Olympic Winter Games from Sochi, Russia. You know Rebecca Lowe from all the Premier League shows on NBC SN.
On 22 December 2008, while presenting Football Matters, Rebecca Lowe confirmed she supports Crystal Palace.
On 12 June 2013, Lowe married former Torquay, Bristol Rovers & Luton Town manager Paul Buckle in a private ceremony in Santorini, Greece.
It appears that Michelle Beadle is now out as an Olympics host. Nothing is confirmed as of yet, but her future with the network remains very much uncertain.
Rebecca Lowe will make her Olympic debut as host of NBCSN’s extensive live weekday and weekend coverage.
