Encyclopedia
Established in 2007, Canada's Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium (legal name 7048467 Canada Inc.
, also sometimes referred to informally as CTV Olympics) is a joint venture
set up by Canadian
media
companies Bell Media (formerly CTVglobemedia) and Rogers Media
to produce the Canadian broadcasts of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and the London 2012 Olympics Games. Bell owns 80% of the joint venture, and Rogers owns 20%.
The consortium encompasses many of the properties owned by both companies, including Bell Media's CTV Television Network
, TSNThe Sports Network
, RDS Réseau des Sports
and RIS Réseau Info-Sports, and Rogers Media's Omni Television
, Rogers Sportsnet
, OLN, and the Rogers radio stations group. Several other broadcasters will also carry consortium coverage, including V (formerly TQS), and several channels owned by Asian Television Network
. Finally, dedicated websites in English and French (ctvolympics.ca and rdsolympiques.ca) have been set up to stream live coverage over the Internet
to Canadian viewers.

to bid for Canadian broadcast rights of Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016. Broadcast details for the joint bid are yet to be released. With Rogers reportedly prohibited from bidding on its own or with another partner, the joint Bell/CBC bid is now considered the prohibitive favourite to win the rights when the International Olympic Committee
accepts bids in late 2011 or early 2012.
