  CNBC occasionally serves as an outlet for NBC Sports programming, and essentially acts as an overflow feed when USA Network is broadcasting sports events. Mainly, this has occurred on weekends, especially the afternoon, and sports coverage is purposefully kept away from any part of the American trading day on weekdays.
  
  Consistent programming includes the Premier League and the Olympics.
  
  Generally, during weekdays CNBC airs coverage from 5-8PM ET, following business coverage. During weekends, CNBC carries much more extensive sports coverage.
