Time zones and TV viewing

Most sessions are in the evening in Italy, which lines up as afternoon in North America and late night to early morning in parts of Asia. Broadcasters like NBC and others list local airtimes; for example, U.S. Eastern Time listings show early‑morning blocks for some team events and afternoon blocks for many finals.
