7s4083cqnm_9iiadptkwq_file.jpg?dimension

 

On the evening of Tuesday ( 26) , the host Adriana Araujo came live from the Olympic Park , to the Jornal da Record . In the program, she commanded a compact with the most important news of the day and talked about his mission in 2016 :

-


MY OPINION.

It is sad to see that the RECORD TV does not have a studio for your presenters who will speak straight from the ground.
The RECORD TV is the second largest broadcaster in the country, and sent to London in 2012 and now exclusivity is behind the TV GLOBO and BAND TV .

Will be 130 hours on TV RECORD, against 160 hours on TV GLOBO and over 200 hours BAND TV .

BRAZIL : TV RECORD sent more presenters to Vancouver 2010 to send in Rio 2016

Record enviou mais apresentadores pra Olimpíada de Inverno que na Rio 2016

NATELINHA -  More news programs anchored in Vancouver, Canada, during the Winter Games than in Rio de Janeiro during the Summer Olympics. This is one of comparison that can be drawn from the disclosure of the Record team list for the event which begins on August 5th. In 2010, before his first exclusive Olympic broadcast, Record squandered. The transmission of the ice competitions earned critical praise and good ratings. Break, caught the market's attention to the arrangements. And he made the Globe, who never had given the ball for the event, go to view live some competitions in Sochi in 2014. At the time, "Speak Brazil", "Jornal da Record," "Fantastic Sport" and "Sunday Spectacular" told with presenters on Canadian soil. They were represented, respectively, by Roberta Piza, Ana Paula Standard, Mylena Ciribelli and Paulo Henrique Amorim. Now, for 2016, occupy the posts respectively journalists Carla Cecato, Adriana Araujo and again Mylena Ciribelli, the only "survivor" in the same role throughout the cycle, which should end with the disinterest in acquiring the rights of Games Tokyo in 2020.

Well they are hosts so it's not that hard of a challenge where others need to struggle with logistics. I'm happy as long as everything is accessible 100% without paywall, i something is not in TV you can always catch it via internet and our TVP provides that, Sadly this is last Olympics like that due to whole Eurosport deal :( So i plan to enjoy it to it's fullest :)

CAT in Thailand was granted the responsibility to transmit Thailand's first digital HD presentation of the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics to the free-to-air TV Pool channels--Channels 3, 5, 7, 9, and NBT from the ASIASAT 5 digital satellite starting with the women's soccer on August 3. It welcomes it:

Altogether, it will be a combined 200 hours for the TV Pool channels. Now they're requesting a 150 million bhat government subsidy to help cover the lack of sponsorship revenue intended to replenish the reported 450 million bhat Olympic purchase:

Kyrgyzstan's KTRK launched a 24-hour, 7 days a week sports channel called KTRK Sports back in mid-December that will cover Rio 2016:

Far cry from what Greece's ERT channels used to do back with Athens 2004 with the three ERT channels and of the extra Olympic-specific ones that Nova carried (ET 4-9) to now with Rio. What we do know from ERT is this: ET1 will start showing Rio 2016 starting with all-live women's soccer with Sweden vs. South Africa at 19:00-20:55 (Greece time 7-8:55pm). Brazil vs. China comes in at 22:00-0:00. And the USA  vs. New Zealand from 1-3:00 after 1-hour ERT News, Sports, and Weather. ET1 returns on Thursday with Brazil vs. South Africa, Portugal vs. Argentina, and Fiji vs. South Korea back-to-back-to-back kicking things off at 22:00 (10pm). ET2 hits the scene when it shows live Iraq vs. Denmark, Algeria vs. Honduras, and Mexico vs. Germany starting at 19:00 (7pm). ET3 gets Sweden vs. Colombia at 1-3am and Japan vs. Nigeria at 3:50-6am both live with New Chef, New Rules sandwiched between them.  

ET1 has the Rio 2016: The Great Saga documentary at 22:20-0:00 and then the Olympia: Origins of the Olympic Games doc at from 0:45-1:55am. Then it's the live Greek presentation from ERT of the Opening Ceremony immediately afterwards at 1:55am onto 5:30 with a live simulcast on ET2, which will have an encore presentation on Saturday. Actually, all three ERT channels--ET1, ET2, and ET3--will get involved in the Rio 2016 broadcast, almopst all of it live during this time with ERT HD taking the ET1 feed. As things go, both ET2 and ET3 will both come on regularly in the afternoon with ET1 hitting with its Rio 2016 portion at late afternoon/early evening. I just checked this on Nova's TV guide.

Under the tagline Let's Go Rio 16 as its campaign, SABC finally presents its Rio 2016 coverage plans in South Africa--and it came rather late. SABC2 will handle both the Opening and Closing Ceremonies live as well as many sports. But some sports won't be live due to time differences. SABC Sport will send a team to Rio to report on the scene with regular news and updates. SABC1 will be broadcasting football and basketball games (surely starting with Bayana Bayana facing Sweden Wednesday live in women's soccer and then with South Africa vs. Brazil Thursday in men's soccer, also live), with SABC2 being the home of the Olympics showcase. SABC3 will have a highlight package every evening with tennis, beach volleyball and golf. 15 of the SABC’s radio stations will broadcast the games events in different languages and live updates will also be carried on SABC sport’s digital platforms. The following television programmes are key fixtures of the SABC’s Olympics’ coverage:

Ola Rio- Good Morning Rio presented by Vaylen Kirtley on SABC2 from 6:45-7:00 (South Africa time) daily which then crossovers to Rio bringing the latest news, results and medals-board to show who is at the top of the pops in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. This is Rio presented by Vaylen Kirtley, Lelo Mzaca, and Thapelo Tips Seemsie on SABC2 from 10am-12:00pm daily. This is Rio will bring live highlights from the finals, participant profiles, the lifestyle in and around Rio. It will be the audiences one stop shop regarding news from the 2016 Summer Olympics Games in Rio De Janeiro. Showcasing all sporting highlights from the previous night. Hola Rio presented by Lebo Motsoeli and Udo Carelse daily from 22-5:00 and will act as the main show on SABC2 that will broadcast heats and finals of the different sporting codes. Rio Highlights on SABC3, presented by Mathapelo Phale and Kwena Moabelo, comes from 23:30-4h30 daily as a full highlights package on all different sporting events of Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games. In addition, SABC2 will show some Olympic-themed documentaries as part of the coverage including one on Marion Jones.  

What's interesting this time is apparently SABC decided not to utilize all the 11 official languages under the SA constitution for this Summer Olympics as it sees them as part of the national unity and representation like it did with London 2012. Is this all still going to be in English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Ndebele, Sotho with select sports? We can forget Portuguese in this one.

(Just checked the SABC Sport TV schedule. The South Africa-Sweden women's soccer game is actually going to be delayed with the Zimbabwe-Germany match going live. SuperSport will show the former live. Get ready to witness a blowout there. Odd...)

Finally we are getting heavily into the CCTV's Rio 2016 broadcasting plans. We know for sure, having assumed we've paid attention to its channels, that CCTV-5 and CCTV-5+ will act as anchors for the Chinese coverage. It already has some Olympic TV programs in the forms of what's literally called Rio Horn (latest non-Chinese Olympic news and developments leading up to Rio 2016), People In The Olympic Year (largely on the Chinese Olympic hopefuls), Rio Action/Star Poly Rio (further athletes profiles and the interesting characters and places in Rio De Janeiro and Brazil), Go To The Olympics, and VR tests. Right now, both channels are constantly airing retrospectives on the recent Summer Olympics like Beijing and London, China Sports, and even the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Opening Ceremonies. We still gotta know how many hours exactly CCTV and CNTV are showing the Olympics. With CCTV's VIP Sports app through NeuLion for Android and iOS smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs, Chinese consumers can get access to 5700 hours of Olympic action (same as online coverage) in HD at all the Rio venues that will include mobile live chat and interactive fun while watching. CCTV's online version will have free view display library, making things easy to find, new video downloads, a new MINI push pop, pushing exciting information, a new user center to manage personal video more conveniently, and a more optimized interface that's more visually attractive. It'll even get involved with 3D Olympic TV:

Will the Seven Network in Australia learn the Olympic TV broadcasting lessons from the past? Will the Australian public, spoiled rotten since Melbourne back in 1956, become above that constant griping that's always expected with every Summer Olympics regardless whoever handles the Australian Olympic TV coverage with the commercials, sappy backstories that stereotypically remind people of VH1's Behind The Music, fawning post-event interviews, and the jingoism. Sounds familiar, Americans? But this is about the rapidly-changing Australian broadcasting landscape with online gaining prominence as Seven takes a page from FOXTEL with multiple channels while keeping it FTA as it allows more events shown online and the amount of Australian sports coverage rises and heads to the subscriber side:

DD National in India will take care of the India-centric terestrial TV coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics, usually from 9:30am onwards, unless something important or involving protocol in the Indian government scene gets priority. DD Sports can't get involved in the live Olympic telecasts on DD Sports as that channel is not covered in the ambit of the Sports Broadcasting Signals (Mandatory Sharing with Prasar Bharati) Act 2007. However, DD Sports had commenced special pre-event programmes on the Olympics in June this year that are already mentioned here:

Bosnia-Herzegovina's Rio 2016 TV coverage will be provided by BHT1 and the Serbian language RTRS. RTRS will start many Olympic TV broadcasting days from 14 in the afternoon until the early morning live and then recordings afterwards in sports like athletics, swimming and gymnastics to team sports--basketball, handball, water polo, and volleyball, as well as archery, rowing, taekwondo and tennis, with special emphasis on competition and success of athletes and team and from the former Yugoslavian/Balkan region. Still trying to find the BHT1 TV info. Did find the TV schedule that says it will show both ceremonies, basketball, soccer, handball, water polo, swimming, track and field:

Remember all that controversy regarding Sri Lanka's potential TV broadcasters over who actually held the rights and the sublicensers from London? No such controversy this time. Sri Lankan free TV Olympic coverage will come on the Eye Channel and Rupavahini.

Morten Ankerdal and Natasja Crone are TV2 Denmark's studio anchors in TV2's largest Olympic broadcast ever at the Olympic Village but with additional locations at Copacabana Beach and at the sailing harbor. As already mentioned here, it will be dedicated coverage on TV2 with the best of the Olympics going on. TV2 Sport, Denmark's most watched sports channel after one and a half years, also will handle the pre-Opening Ceremony women's and men's soccer games--4 in the women and 5 in the men and continues to have 24-hour round the clock Olympic coverage with news and updates. Mikkel Beha and his son Emil Mide Erichsen became solid anchors on sailing, and Christian Bækgaard is reporting from Copacabana with all the latest from the Olympics. This team is purported to be very competent and committed team of commentator seats on the basis of TV 2 SPORT, where professionalism, presence and personality are important parameters. Well-known names such. Thomas Kristensen, Dennis Ritter and Jimmy Bøjgaard will guide viewers through the major sports such as handball, athletics and sailing, respectively. It does - combined with experts, several of whom are former Olympic medalists - that we can give the Danes really good company during the transmissions, In Rio, a six-man team including reporter Stine Bjerre Jorgensen, Rasmus Staghøj and Thomas Bilde be close to the events during the Olympics. We send live anywhere in Rio, so we can bring the Olympic atmosphere directly home in the living rooms:

In Moldova, the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics will exclusively be shown on TRM's Moldova 1 and Moldova 2. Since London 2012, TRM created a new 24-hour second TV channel to go along with TVM and got renamed Moldova 1 to coincide with this change. Very likely Moldova 2 will carry the bulk of the Rio 2016 Olympic coverage. Neither will televise the pre-Opening Ceremony soccer that'll take place. But M2 will start things with a 1-hour preview at 4am (which will come in subsequently at that time slot as a highlights show) and then returns with the 6:35am presentation of the Opening Ceremony on Saturday that will go on at least to 9:50am. Sports coverage won't begin until 2:25pm that will go onto 4am Sunday. M1 will have the Opening Ceremony live at 1:50-5:05am early Saturday morning with a rebroadcast at 9:45am-1pm. Its live sports will arrive on 3-5:20pm and 5:15-6:55pm with the Russian news acting as the interruption. Then it resumes at 7:40-7:55pm with the Olympic Messenger then immediately goes for another hour of Rio 2016 live transmissions at 7:55pm. It concludes the first day with the 9:20-9:55pm programming and again at 10:20pm-0:35am due to news (in both Romanian and Russian), weather, and commercials/promos. Sunday morning will have 5-hour programming block at 1-6am and returns with 8:15 handball before coming back at 3-6:40pm again with the Russian language news interrupting. At 7:14 resumes the same programming structure like Saturday night.

I guess I was pre-mature. The NBC Universal listings are still mostly in blocks so its difficult to decipher exact times of events being shown. I swear that the listings would say specifically what would be airing at each time except during the prime time show in previous Olympics.

They did a better job of breaking things up than they did for the last Summer Olympics, so this is at least an improvement over that.

Agreed that it's much better than 4 years ago.  On my Comcast X1 DVR, the listings are broken down into 1-2 hour chunks.  This means I don't have to set my DVR for a 10 hour block of programming (20% of my DVR capacity) when I really only want to record an event that takes place for 90 minutes in the middle of the day.

I'm no fan of Comcast cable and generally hate that it's the only option I have for pay TV where I live, but I think the coverage that is going to be available through the X1 box is going to be amazing.
