Tape-delay haters, rejoice!

NBC has changed course and decided to stream Sunday's Olympic closing ceremony live online, in addition to broadcasting it during prime time.

NBC stressed that Sunday's stream was an experiment and doesn't necessarily mean the same policy would hold true for the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. The stream is available to cable and satellite customers who go to the NBCOlympics.com website.

Sunday's ceremony has been described as a music-filled after-party that will feature the Spice Girls, The Who, George Michael, Muse and others in a show that will include performances of some 30 British hit singles over five decades.
