Peacock's Major CES Presence

January 5, 2008 | 2:56 PM

NBC Universal is ramping up its involvement in the Consumer Electronics Show this year with a number of special events and appearances by network news celebrities. All the details are available at NBCatCES.com, a Web site designed especially for the event.

NBC, which is the first-ever official broadcast partner for CES, will unveil a giant booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center (Central Hall #12533), which will feature live broadcasts and showcase the network's entertainment, lifestyle, news and sports content.

On Monday, Al Roker of the "Today Show," "NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams," and Nancy O'Dell, host of "Access Hollywood," will each report from the exhibition hall floor. MSNBC, CNBC and NBC affiliate stations will also take advantage of the space for broadcasts throughout the week.

Update:
NBC announced on Sunday that Williams' broadcast from CES has been changed to Wednesday.
