NEW YORK (AP) -

NBC has changed its plans and will stream Sunday's Olympic closing ceremony live online.
    
The network will still televise the ceremony in prime time on a tape-delay basis. But the network was criticized two weeks ago for delaying the opening ceremony and not streaming a version live for those who wanted it.
    
NBC has found during the games that live streaming of sports events has had no appreciable difference on ratings for its prime-time program, which is all tape-delayed material. NBC's ratings have been unexpectedly up from Beijing in 2008.
    
The closing ceremony has been described as a music-filled after-party to the games.
