Super Bowl, Olympics, and "The View" Dominate Weekend News

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina officially began with an opening ceremony at Milan's San Siro Stadium, featuring performances by Mariah Carey, Andrea Bocelli, and others, according to CBS News. Simultaneously, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) launched an investigation into ABC's "The View" regarding equal time for political candidates, as reported by Fox News. Meanwhile, preparations for Super Bowl LX were underway, with heightened security measures in place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and party hosts preparing for the event.

The opening ceremony for the Winter Games included the Parade of Nations and the lighting of the Olympic cauldrons, CBS News reported. More than 2,900 athletes from 92 national Olympic committees are set to compete, with the U.S. having the largest presence, followed by Canada and host nation Italy.

At the Super Bowl, security was a top priority. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter provided an aerial view of the stadium, with the pilot stating the focus was on "any type of threats, any type of violent acts or suspicious activity going on," according to CBS News. Barricades, bomb-sniffing dogs, and checkpoints were also in place.

Super Bowl Sunday was expected to bring some surprises to the traditional game day menu, according to Fox News. While chicken wings, pizza, and beer are typical offerings, some hosts were planning more elaborate meals.

In other news, the FCC's investigation into "The View" stemmed from the agency's effort to enforce the "statutory equal opportunities requirement," as stated in the Communications Act of 1934, according to Fox News. A source at the FCC told Fox News Digital that the investigation was prompted by a recent appearance on the show.

Country music singer Brantley Gilbert was scheduled to perform at Turning Point USA's "All-American Halftime Show" on Sunday, countering Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, Fox News reported. Kid Rock, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett were also slated to perform at the event.
