The broadcaster is running a number of public viewings of the 8k format during the upcoming Sochi Olympics. Skating will be shown live to audiences at the NHK Fureai Hall in Shibuya, while at the NHK Nagoya Station, footage of the Sochi Olympics and other 8K contents will be shown to commemorate the 60th anniversary of television broadcasting in Nagoya.
