Fox -

For 2014 and 2016, Fox offered $1.5 billion and for all the games between 2014 and 2020, the network bid $3.4 billion, a person familiar with the matter said.

ESPN -

However, while NBC and Fox each made bids for both the next two and next four Olympics games, ESPN only bid for the 2014 and 2016 games its bid was not as competitive, people close to the process said. The ESPN bid was for $1.4 billion, one person with knowledge of the matter said.

Really glad to hear it. IMHO the best sports broadcaster. With NBC Universal making significant investments in rugby really glad to see that momentum continuing through at least 2020.
