History

edit

20th century

edit

State-owned People's Television Network (PTV) would be the official broadcaster of the Summer Olympics in the latter half of the 20th century, starting from the 1988 edition in Seoul, South Korea only missing the 1992 edition in Barcelona, Spain.[1]

2000s

edit

The 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia was broadcast by PTV.[2]

Unmet financial obligations by the PTV (the National Broadcasting Network or NBN from 2001–2012) to the International Olympic Committee for the 2000 Olympics coverage would be an obstacle for securing rights for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.[2] But due to the intervention of then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo NBN was able to settle sufficiently its obligation to acquire broadcast rights.[3][4][5] NBN would partner with Jemah TV for the coverage.[2]

Solar Entertainment would cover the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.[6]

2010s

edit

Solar would cover the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.[7]

Japanse firm Dentsu would acquire broadcast rights for numerous Asian countries including the Philippines for the Olympics for the 2013–2016 Olympic cycle.[8] TV5 woulld acquire the rights from Dentsu to air the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[9]

edit

The MVP group of companies, associated with Manny V. Pangilinan would cover the 2020 edition[a] in Tokyo, Japan and the 2024 edition in Paris, France.[10][11]
