BROADCASTING THE GAMES


WE DELIVER THE IMAGES, SOUNDS AND DATA THAT CAPTIVATE BILLIONS OF VIEWERS
WORLDWIDE

Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) produces the live television, radio and
digital coverage of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Our coverage is neutral,
favouring no particular country or athlete, and includes sports competitions as
well as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

The International Olympic Committee established OBS to serve as the permanent
host broadcaster for the Games, eliminating the need to continually rebuild the
broadcast operation for each edition, and as a result create a more efficient,
streamlined operation. This continuity allows us to maintain the highest Olympic
broadcast standards from Games to Games.




SERVICES TO RIGHTS HOLDING BROADCASTERS


HOW THE WORLD WATCHES THE GAMES


WE DELIVER OUR COVERAGE TO BROADCASTERS AROUND THE GLOBE

We provide unbiased coverage, as well as other services, to Media Rights-Holders
(MRHs) who have acquired the exclusive rights to distribute the coverage of the
Olympic Games. Together, we share the inspiring athletic achievements and
spectacular Ceremonies of the Games with viewers all around the world.


WE DESIGN, BUILD AND OPERATE THE INTERNATIONAL BROADCAST CENTRE

The International Broadcast Centre (IBC) is the temporary home for Olympic
Broadcasting Services and the Media Rights-Holders during each Games. We provide
broadcasters with customised space for offices, studios and control rooms, as
well as other services. All coverage from each competition venue comes to the
IBC before it is transmitted to the world.




WE HELP BROADCASTERS PERSONALISE THEIR COVERAGE FOR THEIR HOME AUDIENCES

We provide additional services to Media Rights-Holders at the competition venues
so they can add their own commentary and interviews, allowing them to tailor
their coverage for audiences at home.


WE REPRESENT THE NEEDS OF RIGHTS-HOLDERS

We communicate and coordinate Media Rights-Holders’ requirements with other key
Olympic stakeholders, such as the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the
local Organising Committees and the International Sports Federations.



THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY



WE USE THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO BRING VIEWERS THE MOST MEMORABLE
CELEBRATION OF SPORT


We ensure the high standards of Olympic broadcasting are consistently maintained
from one edition of the Games to the next. As part of this mission, we make use
of the latest state-of-the-art broadcasting technologies to continually improve
the level of services that define television quality standards and inspire
future innovations.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY


MINIMISING OUR IMPACT AND LEAVING A POSITIVE LEGACY IN THE HOST CITY


DOING MORE WITH LESS IN OUR PLANNING AND OPERATIONS

To increase flexibility, efficiency and sustainability in the broadcast of the
Games, we have adopted a “more with less” mindset. As much as possible we are
repurposing materials from one Games to another, including cabling as well as a
fully reusable module system for the IBC. In addition, we have considerably
reduced the broadcast requirements at venues. By offering more ready-to-air
content and remote solutions, we have also allowed Media Rights-Holders to
reduce their own footprint in the host city and optimise their operations.

Guided by Olympic Agenda 2020 and the New Norm, the IOC’s strategic roadmap of
reforms aiming for more affordable and legacy-oriented Games, we are committed
to working closely with local organisers to reduce the complexity of our
broadcast operations, resulting in economic savings and a more effective and
sustainable delivery of the Games.


WE TRAIN AND HIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF BROADCAST PROFESSIONALS

Now strongly established as a legacy from the host broadcaster to each Games’
host city, the Broadcast Training Programme (BTP) provided work experience to
more than 13,000 students since its creation for the Olympic Games Los Angeles
1984. Many of those students have gone on to successful broadcast careers in the
sports industry.

Through the BTP, Olympic Broadcasting Services, in conjunction with local
universities, offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for local students to gain
training and paid work experience alongside the best broadcast professionals in
the world, working on the largest broadcast operation in the world.

Olympic Broadcasting through the years

OBS through the years


WINTER YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES LAUSANNE 2020

The Winter Youth Olympic Games achieved the highest broadcast and digital

multi-platform coverage, OBS produced nearly five times more live hours than for
the previous edition and provided access to more than 400 hours of additional
content in different formats through Content+. Furthermore, OBS used its Spanish
headquarters again as a remote production and transmission hub, pursuing its
efforts to minimise broadcast footprint in the host city(ies).
