Thanks in advance to those who know!

France Télévisions is using France 2 and France 3, but not at the same time, so for example France 2 has their lunchtime block of news, France 3 takes over.

There's at least one other NBC studio on site at the Hilton, using Sky personnel I believe, but there are also a number of affiliate positions. Looking at the Instagram "places" feed for the hotel and amongst all the tourist selfies there are pictures of various setups.

Returning to this... A version of the world feed opening titles with the OBS wordmark in the final frames has recently surfaced. It appeared on last night's TVP Wiadomości during a report about TVP Sport's olympic coverage. This confirms that they are two different versions of the world feed titles: one with the OBS wordmark (mostly for use in the world feed signals) and another without it (as shown by [mention]Lieuwe[/mention] , for use by rights holders broadcasters). Both are exactly the same, only the OBS wordmark fades in during the final frames of the main world feed titles.

Here's a picture of it...

France Télévisions actually has full rights of the games. France 2/France 3 are carrying the main program and France 4 is showing team sports all day long.

At some point overnight there's even three simultaneous program, with France 3 showing the full swimming or track and field session while France 2 has the main program (occasionally showing swimming when something major happens).

France.tv online has all the events streamed live without commentary.

It's going to be different for Beijing 2022 and Paris 2024 since France Télévision is goign to start sub-licensing the rights from Discovery (I predict a huge backlash if the FTA coverage is reduced to BBC levels)

I'm thinking back to 2012 and the innovations then such as waymarkers embedded in the live and catch-up streams for key points and changes in sport.

Example here:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/internet/entries/4f5d7c76-e6a7-3324-b587-21bd3d159d6f

While I know that there isn't the same level of funding behind these games as previously, it's just frustrating more than anything when the BBC coverage is being dumped on iPlayer in 4 hour blocks.

They appear to be updating the EPG and online schedule as they show things, which isn't very helpful if you're looking out for something in particular. Even just what's on next would be useful.

Brekkie post_id=30744 time= user_id=976 Wrote:On the subject of weather one thing to note in the announcement of Brisbane 2032 is that the games will be held in July, with the IOC now insisting on a July or August time frame. Sydney 2000 was held in September while the Commonwealth Games in 2006 and 2018 were in March.

Quote:The BBC has received a large number of complaints about the lack of live Tokyo Olympics coverage on its channels, after viewers failed to realise that the International Olympic Committee had sold the majority of UK television rights to pay-TV company Discovery.

During the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics, the BBC was able to offer dozens of free livestreams of different sports, revolutionising the way British viewers watched the games and providing much needed publicity to niche events that would not normally have enjoyed their moment in the public eye.
