NBC Extends Olympic Deal Into Unknown. NBC Universal agreed on Wednesday to pay $7.75 billion for the exclusive broadcast rights to the six Olympic Games from 2022 to 2032, highlighting with that staggering sum the supreme value that media companies are placing on live event programming in a market disrupted by modern viewing habits.
As more viewers consume media on their own schedules, often without commercials, broadcasters regard live events as the only content that compels most viewers to watch in real time, as one vast audience, without filtering out advertisers. NBCU extends Olympic rights deal to 2032. US media company NBCUniversal has extended its media rights deal for the Olympic Games through to 2032 in a deal that the International Olympic Committee said would secure the long-term financial security of the Olympic Movement.
NBCU has acquired rights across all media platforms, including free-to-air television, subscription television, internet and mobile. The agreement, from 2021 to 2032, is valued at $7.65bn (€5.5bn), plus an additional $100m signing bonus which the IOC said would be used for the “promotion of Olympism and the Olympic values” between 2015 and 2020. The new deals mean NBCU will broadcast every edition of the multi-sport event. Oslo’s Olympic bid dealt substantial blow.

UCI chief Cookson suggests Olympics programme overhaul. Brian Cookson, the president of the International Cycling Union (UCI), has suggested that summer Olympics indoor sports could be switched over to the programme for the winter Games.
Cookson believes that sports such as track cycling, judo and badminton could reduce the pressure on the “overheated” summer Olympics, allowing certain sports to have more events and more medals. Cookson added to the Press Association Sport news agency that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) should consider adding cyclo-cross and downhill mountain biking to the winter Games. “If you have a problem with summer Olympics where the whole thing is perceived as over-heated with too many facilities, too many sports, too many competitors and so on, why not look at moving some of the other sports that traditionally take place in the winter in the northern hemisphere indoors,” he said. Sochi 2014 hails winter Paralympics commercial record.

Une délégation française à Londres pour s'inspirer de l'après-JO. Paris 2024 : une opportunité pour une candidature (2/2) ? - L'Observatoire du sport business. Si la décision de présenter une candidature française pour accueillir les JO de 2024 se précise dans un contexte a priori favorable, la question du coût d’une telle démarche n’est pas anodine. L’aspect économique revient inexorablement au premier rang des préoccupations mais un nouvel échec serait également fort regrettable pour l’image d’un pays qui perd de son influence sur la scène sportive internationale. Présenter une nouvelle candidature, est-ce donc bien raisonnable ? Le modèle ne fonctionne plus. Sur le plan de l'organisation (je ne parle pas ici de la loi homophobe ou du harcèlement dont ont été victimes les opposants), ces Jeux ont en effet constitué un succès : sites de compétition impeccables, village des athlètes accueillant, réseau de transport performant, services informatiques fiables.
