Felipe Menegaz Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 On July 21, IOC representatives landed in Brazil and held meetings with all interested in buying the rights to broadcast the 2016 Summer Olympics. TV Netorks, telcos, internet portals - has been one meeting after another. Other words, are being negotiated broadcasting rights to free-to-air and pay television, internet and mobile. The two major Brazilian television networks, Rede Globo and Rede Record, are fighting for the rights of broadcasting the 2016 Summer Olympics. A battle of USD 100 million. This is the value that Globo and Record - each - would be willing to pay for the event, with no place chosen. That "suspense" is also part of the negotiations, since Rio de Janeiro competes for host the Olympics, sharpening a dispute between local broadcasters. The International Olympic Committee will decide until September 15th which of the two networks will broadcast the games, before the official announcement of the host city. Tactic to enhance the transmission? Yes, but for Globo, is not what matters. Without the 2016 Summer Olympics, the network would be out of the Olympic Games until 2020. Globo has already lost to Record the broadcast of the event in London in 2012. Officially, directors of Globo report that will not do crazy things for 2016, but the fact is they are chasing the IOC since the beginning of the year. Rede Record is ready to offer up to 100 million dollars. Acquiring the rights of the event is a matter of pride for the channel. In 2009, Record has paid 60 million dollars for the London Olympics. The channel has already negotiated the transfer with Pay TV, having billed 38 million. Emphasizing that remain sold radio rights and commercial packages. Who will take the gold medal in this Olympic competition?

jim jones Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 Well growing the rights packages outside the US is what the IOc wants to do. 100 million US you say ? well that is something for one of the so called developing countries while Western Europe Stonewalls for the tune of 500 million. considering you have Germany, France, Italy , the UK and Spain with larger economies then Brazil and Russia perhaps tagging along on that European Broadcasting Union EU is getting off cheaply compared to Brazil. The EU should be Paying as much as the Americans very simply which is a billion dollars. Jim jones
baron-pierreIV Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 Well, these Brazil rights are being negotiated I think in 2009 terms, rather than on 2016 terms...just to lock in should by chance, Rio NOT get 2016. Going by US timeline, these $100 million for Brazil would be equivalent to Moscow 1980 - $87 million; so on a 1980 timeframe vis-a-vis when US rights are sold. Euro rights should at least be 3/4ths of US rights.

Euro rights should at least be 3/4ths of US rights. If and Only IF the IOC breaks the monopoly of the EBU. I will hold my breathe that it happens. The Rights from Brazil are going up in the right direction and at a pace that is greater then the EU. Funny the EU can talk about the Microsoft monopoly and anti trust stuff but when it comes to entertainment industries State control is not considered in the same way. 75 percent only begins to compare with the US rights after all the Entire EU economy is larger then the US economy. The only way I see it happening is if Murdoch signs a huge deal world wide. Jim jones

Jim jones Well if you spend a little time paying attention about the current Olympic news instead of digging up irrelevant facts to feed your anti-UK, anti-EU, anti-everything that doesn't fit the world how it should be according to you, you would know that it is exactly what's happening. EBU won't be the right holder after 2012 and Italy, UK, Germany, France rights are handled on a case by case basis. So you can take a deep breath...

Watch Europe will have a law passed that will be anti competitive . Read Europeans like a Book . Jim jones

Jim jones Good: spinning with non-sense -> you have been proved wrong by facts. What is "Europe"? European Parliament, European Commission, European Council? Please elaborate. Please provide facts proving that "Europe" has been involved in past, current negotiations between IOC and European broadcasters. Please restrain from posting except for replying to the above questions or actually addressing the original topic (Broadcast Rights in Brazil).
DannyelBrazil Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 In this European fight I keep my mouth closed... But is it the correct thread for this? Just asking, you can fight here...

Brazil stepping up to the plate paying about 20 percent of what the EU currently pays is great . Shows they actually has the interest of the games while europe even with Hosting 2004 and 2012 looks to America as the big pay check while they stall on games hosting on their own continent. That is very relevant to Brazilian Right increases which are admirable and come even before the bid for 2016. Jim jones

Original question was "Provide evidence backing your claim that "Europe" will pass a law that is anti-competitive with respect to broadcast rights for the Olympics". Still no answer -> please provide answer or retract yourself. Also, please provide evidence that "Europe looks to America to pay for Games on their own continent". Last time I checked, NBC did not sign the 2004-2012 deal under pressure from anyone and certainly not from "Europe" (that you still failed to define). And yeah, the only relevant part is the Brazil broadcast rights and you hijacked the thread once more bringing in your eternal whining about Europe (and BTW, to be honest, one should compare the Brazil TV rights for 2016 to the Europeans ones which are still under negotiations but honesty doesn't belong to you vocabulary).
Felipe Menegaz Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Posted August 26, 2009 Well, I hope that Rede Globo buy the 2016 broadcast rights... After the new teaser of the next primetime soap opera, I prefer Rede Globo. A big production to be premiered in September. Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ1aNyaG7bg
aluz Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 After the latest developments with the owners of TV Record, I can see the IOC reverting the decision and giving everthing back to Globo. I don't think they want their name involved with Edir Macedo.
