I twittered Kevin Martin, who seemed to imply the US would be getting international feed and hopefully him.

In the past, NBC has used both him and Pete Fenson who is really good too.

Is there a way to watch replays of NBC's broadcast from previous years? I'll take anything: world championships, Olympics, etc.

For worlds we typically get NBC (or NBCSports or Olympic Channel) rebroadcasting the international feed

Not really. Best option is the international feed on worldcurlingtv

Someone sent me this clip where Kevin Martin talked about Jamie Sinclair injuring herself when she tripped over a rock at the 2019 World Women's Curling Championship

https://youtu.be/q12Jd2lK4l0

The logo does say Olympic Channel instead of NBC.

Maybe he was just doing short news bits instead of full commentary on games, I'm not sure. Either way, I just want to hear more of Kevin Martin talking about curling (as weird as that may sound).

Good point...NBC essentially distributes Olympic Channel

Kind of. The IOC generates Olympic Channel programming, but NBC is in charge of the American feed of the Olympic Channel. That's why most "Olympic Channel" programming in the US is "Team USA" branded in some way. You're certainly not going to see Sidney Crosby's goal to win gold in Vancouver no matter how good the game was. You will however see the US-Sweden Pyeongchang gold medal curling game on there. Often. It's probably more similar to a franchise model tailored to the area. Think of it as the difference between a US McDonalds franchise and a Korean version.

Pure American coverage of Curling is pretty limited to the old Curling Night in America that Olympic Channel/NBC Sports used to do, and that was almost always Pete Fenson on color.

NBCSN is shutting down this year. They'll be shifting the big events (NHL, PGA Tour, etc...) to the USA Network. What that leaves for Curling is probably the Olympic Channel and maybe the Peacock streaming service?
