The broadcast network Network Ten has delivered coverage of the Olympic Games in Australia on three occasions. Their initial Olympic broadcast was the Summer Games in 1984, followed by the Winter Games in 2014.
Overview
Network Ten exclusively acquired the Australian free-to-air, online, and mobile broadcasting rights for the 2014 Winter Olympics held in Sochi, marking its re-entry into Olympic telecasts.
On 14 May 2013, the International Olympic Committee revealed that Network Ten had obtained the rights for A$20 million. The network’s main nightly show during the event was titled Sochi Tonight. Importantly, Ten pioneered a multichannel approach among Australian broadcasters by simultaneously airing various events on its secondary channel ONE alongside the primary Ten channel.
