Coverage includes live and on-demand event streaming, a 24/7 Youth Olympic Games Channel, daily highlights and news and a daily “Olympic Channel Live Show” from inside the Athlete’s Village. In addition, the Olympic Channel’s digital-first coverage includes a daily blog, daily podcasts, streaming schedules, results and medal tables.

In addition, the remainder of the  Olympic Channel team are using the technical facilities at their Madrid headquarters to provide commentary for all live events, produce additional news and digital content, programming the 24/7 YOG Channel, and as a distribution hub to deliver content to our partners in efforts to use existing facilities and technologies for greater production efficiency.
