Durban Sandshark Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 McAvaney did call London 2012 swimming with Nicole Livingston for the OBS world feed. So he might do that again or another sport with OBS. Still, it's a shame 7 won't do it for the forseeable future for Australia. Read it lost A$40 million for Tokyo despite being in a more favorable time zone realm for Australia. Surely COVID had something to with it. He definitely brings the Olympic knowledge 8 hours ago, Quaker2001 said: When NBC had their first Winter Olympics in 2002 in Salt Lake, they brought in Jim McKay as a correspondent to work on the Opening Ceremony as well as leading to nightly features. Obviously helped the cause that it was an Olympics in the United States. I remember those McKay Moments segments during the NBC primetime segments' early portion with Bob Costas hosting. Likely around the 6:30pm USA/Canada CT point. Can anyone, perhaps Quaker2001, help me remember did he also done likewise for Sydney and Atlanta? I think he also appeared in those too. I'd be really interested in what Nine Network's Paris 2024 commentating team would eventually be. And beyond. Given its relative lack of experience compared to 7. I can expect Andrew Gaze will offer Olympic basketball commentary since he's really good with it, for example. Plenty, I presume, will come on over from what Seven and maybe even 10 previously held. Maybe result in some mix of what Nine Network had for London 2012 and the Seven Network's recent Olympics/Commonwealth personnel. Oh, turns out the Nine Network pulled a coup in spending A$304 million for the decade-long rights starting with Paris 2024. AOC CEO Matt Carroll thanked the Seven Network for "its commitment and expertise of the Channel 7 team over many years and thank them for their contribution to the Olympic movement in Australia.”: Nine Network Pinches Next Five Consecutive Olympics In A A$305 Million Coup Over The Seven Network Starting With Paris 2024 France Televisions' France 3 is already airing a weekday Olympic and Paralympic TV program at 8pm hosted by journalist Carole Gaessler, also an anchor for 19/20, the main evening news bulletin of France 3.

It will really take effect come the Milan-Cortina 2026/Los Angeles 2028 Olympic cycle regarding the Olympics under the TNT Sports brand after Paris 2024--and requires consultation with Virgin Media and Sky as satellite providers there.

Durban Sandshark Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 First major Olympic TV broadcasting change for Latin America and the second one worldwide after Australia's Nine Network with Paris 2024. We will not see TVN (or UC13, for that matter) in Chile getting involved with the broadcasting because Chilevision Canal 9, owned by ViacomCBS and prior to that WarnerMedia Latin America just a couple of years ago and second in Chilean TV viewership behind Mega and among the oldest Chilean TV channels, snagged the exclusive Paris 2024 broadcasting rights that will feature the minimum of 200 FTA hours of Summer Olympic action next year from the French capital with Paramount's multiplatform digital coverage along with shared non-exclusive simultaneous broadcasts inside Chile through Pluto TV, Paramount's free streaming service and the channel's digital platforms. Another big sports feather for Chilevision's cap along with Copa Libertadores and the Chile National Teams' (aka Las Rojas in both men and women) non-World Cup games. This won't affect the pay-TV side Olympic TV broadcasting with America Movil still holding that, so the Claro Sports channels and Marca online still get to show Paris 2024 to Chileans: https://olympics.com/ioc/news/ioc-announces-chilevision-as-broadcast-partner-in-chile-for-paris-2024 https://www.chilevision.cl/chv-deportes/noticias/chilevision-transmitira-toda-la-emocion-de-los-juegos-olimpicos-paris-2024 (comes with companion video with Chilevision's CEO Juan Ignacio Vicente announcing the deal during the Chile-Paraguay men's soccer pregame) https://www.sportcal.com/media/chilevision-snaps-up-fta-rights-for-paris-2024/ https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1135332/chilevision-broadcast-paris-2024 The Paris IBC, 13km south of the Charles De Gaulle Airport and 8km east of the Olympic and Paralympic Village in northeastern Paris at Le Bourget, "occupies a total of four halls (one currently under construction), and will feature a total net area of 45,300 sqm. During the Games, it will house a variety of technical and administrative facilities for both OBS and the RHBs." "Unprecedented" amounts of coverage will be relied upon by the RHBs as they take advantage of the latest and expanded offerings of technologies like cloud more efficiently to show Paris 2024 Olympic video content to their respective territories. Supposed to open in January 2024: https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/olympic-broadcasting-services-lays-out-initial-plans-for-paris-2024 ICYMI. Another new Olympic broadcasting entity comes in the form of Viacom18 in acquiring the Paris 2024 exclusive broadcasting rights for South Asia--India, Pakistan, Bangledesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Maldives, and Nepal--in November through multiplatform and free-to-air. And live. The Mumbai-based broadcasting entity will certainly draw huge response for India's advertisers and sponsors for its Paris 2024 Olympic coverage. So the Indian subcontinent Summer Olympics broadcasting changes hands again. Big question becomes, given its roster of Viacom18 channels, will it be multilingual instead of just Hindi and English with Malayalam, Urdu, Bengali, Kannada, Gujurati, Tamil, and Marathi? There are some Sports18 channels that plan to be multilingual, but will there also be temp Olympic channels too? Right now, we don't know the channels for starters. Maybe JioCinema could be involved.

Durban Sandshark Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Brazil's TV Globo had somethings planned as part of the 500-day countdown back in March with its multiple special report programming centering on Brazilian Paris 2024 Olympian hopefuls, how Brazil's Olympic history evolved since the last time Paris hosted it, how the City of Light is preparing for next summer's massive event and its sports legacy within France, Brazil's Olympic medal prospects and maybe reaching towards 500 medals overall: https://redeglobo.globo.com/novidades/noticia/cobertura-especial-marca-a-contagem-regressiva-de-500-dias-para-os-jogos-olimpicos-de-paris-em-2024.ghtml NBCUniversal raked in more than $1.2 billion in Tokyo 2020 ad revenue sales with 120 different advertisers lined up (20 more than Rio De Janeiro) and despite still being "very early" Paris 2024 ad revenue sales are ahead of Tokyo's with many of these sponsors returning--and excited over new advertising opportunities Paris brings for them after coming off of East Asian-hosted Olympics: https://www.adweek.com/convergent-tv/nbcuniversal-pacing-well-ahead-of-olympics-in-tokyo-for-paris-2024-ad-sales/ https://www.nexttv.com/news/nbcu-sees-early-strength-in-olympic-advertising-sales Details for Australian Olympic viewers for the Nine Network's Paris 2024 all-encompassing media coverage are scant for right now after acquiring the rights up to Brisbane 2032. But we can expect most of the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games’ action live and free on Channel Nine, nine.com.au and 9Now. Stan, 9's streaming platform provider, possibly might get exclusive subscriber content like documentaries like NBCU's Peacock has, and become ever-important as a destination with a growing amount of content during these next 10 years. Maybe even model after what Peacock did with Tokyo and Beijing while being Australian-centric. While 9's reporter and sportscasting teams have yet to be named (still a ways off, of course), we can certainly expect they will have front row access and action to the athletes and sports played. Venerable newspapers like the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's The Age will receive exclusive video and written content as part of their partnership but won't be paywalled as non-rights holders News Corp's newspaper roster meanwhile get limited access. Major issue is striking the right balance between advertising and sponsorships while relying on subscription at a time when the Australian portion of TV consumption overall is rapidly changing with declining free-to-air TV viewership and on-demand and streaming quickly growing: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/feb/09/nine-entertainment-olympic-games-rights-broadcast-tv-streaming-print-what-it-means-for-australia-viewers Certainly not the only promo France TV will present for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games!

But in mid-April, it was announced ORF Sport+ got a stave of execution and will remain until 2026 as ORF turns its focus on gradually developing and unleashing its new 2024-targeted streaming platform with "no diversity of sport suffering as a result". This means it will certainly be there for Paris 2024 along with ORF1 and likely onwards to Milan-Cortina 2026.

Quaker2001 Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 But we've got bigger news! Major announcement from NBC.. NBC AND PEACOCK TO LEAD NBCUNIVERSAL’S COVERAGE OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES PARIS 2024 Peacock streaming all events was expected, they did that for Beijing. This chunk was definitely NOT expected.. Quote NEW YORK, N.Y. – May 11, 2023 – With 14 months until the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad begin, NBCUniversal announced today that the NBC broadcast network and streaming service Peacock will be the company’s primary platforms for its coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, scheduled for July 26-Aug. 11, 2024. Every day, NBC will provide Olympic fans with at least nine hours of daytime coverage of the Summer Games’ most exciting events, including live finals coverage of swimming, gymnastics, track & field, and more. With Paris six hours ahead of the United States’ eastern time zone, the daytime takeover will feature that day’s most popular events live on NBC in the morning and afternoon. Paris 2024 will have more programming hours on the NBC broadcast network than any previous Olympics. Given the time difference and following live coverage all day, NBC will deliver an enhanced Olympics primetime show, providing three hours of edge-of-your-seat entertainment each night. The program will take the American audience up close and inside the Olympic day, weaving together the great competitions, moments, stories, and raw emotion for the massive primetime audience to share. Unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, new technology, and the world’s greatest athletes competing in and around the most iconic locations in Paris will provide an epic television and streaming experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Peacock, I'm sure we'll get some Olympic-themed exclusive original programming again like a daily Olympic review and talk shows; I'm really interested in what kind of brand new Olympic documentaries and profiles it got in production to premiere next year. Speaking of Olympic documentaries, ZDF has a 10-part series (usually going for 14-15 minutes) on the German beach volleyball duo Rio 2016 gold medal winner Laura Ludwig and her teammate Louisa Lippmann as they work their way in going for gold in Paris. Starting their Olympic qualification journey in Rio De Janiero, Brazil, the scene of the Olympic golden glory for Ludwig. But officially kicking things off in Cape Town: https://www.zdf.de/sport/zdf-sportreportage/laura-ludwig-louisa-lippmann-beachvolleyball-olympia-paris-2024-100.html Here's what we know so far regarding Brazil's Globo TV/SporTV's Paris 2024 broadcasting plans: Galvao Bueno will be involved in its coverage as host and commentating in things like the ceremonies and other special programming. Globo TV serves to act as Brazil's exclusive open TV Olympics carrier, although there has been interest from Band and Paramount+ for streaming. Both discovered, in Band's case, it'll lose money despite generating ad revenue and scared off by the astronomical expense to carry them, and in Paramount+'s, despite the potential of raising its still-infant Latin American sports menu profile and project along with what it recently has struck with its Chilevision partnership and pursuing/researching this, couldn't do it because of Globo's exclusivity to 2032. Although both can still negotiate with the IOC and Globo's Marinho family, respectively, to potentially break this Globo TV exclusivity--but it'll become complicated: https://noticiasdatv.uol.com.br/noticia/televisao/dolar-afasta-tvs-e-globo-leva-exclusividade-dos-jogos-olimpicos-de-2024-de-graca-101610 SKY NZ's live TVU remote transmission productions system deployments were so successful in 2022 with Beijing and later in Birmingham, it decided to repeat this for its Paris 2024 Summer Olympics coverage. Using a single six-channel RPS encoder on location and a six-channel RPS decoder in New Zealand, the solution uses standard commodity internet and high-quality HEVC encoding and moved over 30 TBs that ran over more than 16 days 24/7.

I'm sure USA will be the main hub for cable coverage. I think E! will have a big role because CNBC likely won't have coverage on weekday afternoons during business hours. Considering NBCSN and Olympic Channel were both pretty much 24/7 during Tokyo, that's going to mean a massive reduction in cable tonnage. But again, they'll point everyone towards Peacock to pick up the slack there. Hopefully they do a better job of messaging out where everything is. They handled that really poorly for Tokyo, so it's good to see them reverse course on that.

Although unlike Sydney where NBC made a point to show absolutely nothing live save for 1 basketball game, this time I'm sure they'll find some events to hold in the morning/afternoon so it can be primetime back here. I actually expect they’ll find a compromise with swimming - a mix of heats and finals for both morning and evening, similar to how athletics has also scheduled in recent games. As for other sports - I expect gymnastics is the obvious one to schedule for US prime time - not that it’;s not popular here, but our medal hopes are rare and few and far between. As for basketball - hmmm, our Boomers do have a strong following here, but I wouldn’t preclude that also going to mornings. Beach volleyball will slot in nicely. Late night finals worked in London (and will in Paris) because it also showcases nicely lit up landmark venues, whereas we’re going to want to show off our sunlit beach landscape.

Beach volleyball in the daylight will be a wonderful sight to see, so I imagine the organizers and NBC will be on the same page on that one. I think that may be a tough sell with swimming to mix up the heats and prelims. Athletics can get away with that because there aren't as many athletes competing in multiple disciplines. But for swimmers, I feel like that would mess with their prep if the times weren't consistent. Still amazes me that NBC didn't ask for any real schedule accommodations with Sydney despite the fact they literally convinced the country of South Korea to adopt daylight savings time in 1988 so it would benefit American television. And they got tons of marquee events to be held in the late morning/early afternoon as a result. Which is impressive because that was NBC's first big crack at a Summer Olympics. Not like now when they've had a long-standing relationship. Worth noting on that front that 2032 is the last Olympics on NBC's current deal. Far from unthinkable that could be the last of their run if another media or tech company wants to take it from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigVic Posted May 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Nine Secures Paris 2024 Paralympic Games Quote Nine has secured the exclusive free and subscription audio-visual and audio rights to the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. The historic deal with Paralympics Australia follows a deal for exclusive audio-visual rights, and non-exclusive audio rights to the Summer and Winter Olympic Games from 2024-2032 by the IOC. Nine CEO, Mike Sneesby, said: “It is a privilege to be able to bring the Paralympic Games of Paris 2024 to Australia. We look forward to building our relationship with Paralympics Australia and ensuring the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games are accessible across more platforms than ever before.” In a note to staff he said, the deal solidified Nine as Australia’s home of the Olympics and Paralympics. “Many might not be aware that the Paralympics (or parallel Olympics) is a separately run event to the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, and required a separate negotiation process with Paralympics Australia and the International Paralympic Committee. It is a privilege to be able to broadcast the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, and I would say a special thanks to the team who got this agreement over the line, particularly our General Counsel, Rachel Launders, and Chief Strategy Officer, Matt Stanton. “I am also pleased to announce that Matt, alongside his strategy role, will be stepping into the role of Managing Director, Olympics and Paralympics. Matt has been integral to every discussion that has happened over the last few months and is well-placed to lead our teams to success in Paris 2024 and ensure we all make the most of this momentous opportunity.” CEO of Paralympics Australia, Catherine Clark, added: “Once you experience Paralympic sport it leaves a permanent impression on you. Through this extraordinary new partnership with Nine we have the opportunity to showcase Para-sport and tell the extraordinary stories of our athletes and our movement to more Australians than ever before.” In addition to free-to-air and streaming coverage across the 9Network, 9Now and Stan, Nine will cover the Paralympics across 2GB Sydney, 3AW Melbourne, 6PR Perth, 4BC Brisbane, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times, WAtoday, The Australian Financial Review, and nine.com.au. After an uproar when Nine Entertainment Co won the rights to all Olympics until 2032 that didn't include the Paralympics, Nine has secured the rights to the Paris 2024 Paralympics. ABC aired the 2012 Paralympics while Seven has aired the last two Paralympics in Rio and Tokyo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
