Sony Pictures bags Tokyo Games broadcast rights for India

Sony Pictures Networks India (SPN) has been awarded the broadcast rights in India and the subcontinent for the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020. The Olympic Channel and other IOC digital platforms would also feature highlights and replays of key events, said a media release issued on behalf of the International Olympic Committee here on Thursday.

SonyLIV, the Olympic Channel and other IOC digital platforms are to feature highlights and replays of key events to supplement SPN's coverage of the Tokyo Olympics across India and the subcontinent. This follows the successful broadcast of the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 on the Olympic Channel and other IOC digital platforms, the release said.

In addition, the IOC and SPN would collaborate on creating a permanent Olympic Channel home within the SonyLIV service. Programming is to feature year-round coverage of Olympic athletes and sports, highlighting locally relevant original content produced by SPN and Olympic Channel, it added..
