It doesn't seem as though NBC is really doing anything extra for judo from what I can tell in that letter. You could just as easily take out "judo" and replace it with "archery" and you'd have the same form letter. Of course they're going to drive people to their website by saying they have extensive coverage on there of sport "X" that people are interested in. But, in truth, there probably won't be any more air time for judo than there was in 2004. It's going to be the same 10 minutes in the U.S. and the some athlete bio stuff, and the such, available on the web...just like there would be for any other Olympic sport.
