Today, 100 days to go to the Opening Ceremony, and further information is now available on broadcaster's plans for the event:
First, some details on France Télévisions' landmark Olympic coverage: Le Parisien's Benoît Daragon has got a commentator for the Opening Ceremony: France 2's weekend news anchor Laurent Delahousse (he will be joined a female co-anchor still TBA). The information has been confirmed by L'Équipe, who has also confirmed two of the guest analysts for the event: Tony Parker (basketball) and Laurent Tille (volleyball). As for Eurosport, the French narration will be led, as in Tokyo and Beijing, by the network's main French biking commentator, Guillaume Di Grazia, and Éric Monnin, sociologist and historian specialized on the Olympic movement, lecturer at the University of Franche-Comté and president of Center for Olympic Studies and Research.

A press release/dossier should come online shortly. As for technical and production resources, FTV plans to use two mobile units (one for production of France 2's daily programming, another for the athletics at Stade de France...) and two of FTV's galleries at their HQ. France 2's coverage will be produced mostly in native UHD, and France 3's coverage will be produced from Gallery 3 (in standard HD), linked to the studio at La Villette, where Franceinfo and the digital offering will have a common space there. Both channels will also offer an audiodescription track and around 60 guest analysts will work during these periods.

As announced previously, Franceinfo Radio will serve as a service information and live event network during the Games, with their plans already announced: a special morning show from 6 to 10am (the first hour focused on highlights, and then, from 7am, special segments with Bixente Lizarazu, Théo Curin, a special "Les informés du matin" with Cédric Guillou, a special "8.30 franceinfo" and more), and from 10am to 12:30am, non-stop live coverage of events and play-to-play, plus interviews, special reports and hourly news updates from the special La Villette studio.

Over in the US, NBC's hispanic network Telemundo has announced their plans. Unlike NBC, which is more sport-inclusive when doing its schedule, Telemundo is bringing a bigger emphasis in football, with its daily schedule being extended to 12 hours during game days (up from 6 hours during non-football days), partly due to the Hispanic population's demographic. A two-hour wrap-up show will air every night at midnight (Eastern time), with the network's prime time schedule (mostly made of original series, Turkish dramas and multi-night reality show franchises) most likely to be retained during the event.

As for the Peacock, NBC is bringing their voice for Big Ten, Noah Eagle, to commentate basketball during the Games. Eagle, also known for his commentary of the NFL on CBS broadcasts on Nickelodeon, has also commentated college football for Fox, college basketball for CBS/CBSSN, and has commentated for Sinclair's Tennis Channel; he also did fill-in spots for the NFL on Fox, and has commentated for the Clippers and Nets.
nbcsportsgrouppressbox.com
Further to this, the closing ceremony is gaining an unexpected commentator in the name of Jimmy Fallon; he will join Mike Tirico, Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, and Terry Gannon, to commentate the event on August 11; the telecast will air live nationwide.

CBC's Olympic branding has been unveiled by the Canadian broadcaster, with much of the broadcaster's usual look, feel and brand ethos, but with strong references to Parisian design, Art Deco and some Canadian flair; all of the work was done in-house. Their longtime Olympic track by Marc Cholette and John Doerr has gotten a contemporary remix by Orin Isaacs.

Now to behind-the-scenes information, OBS has planned to bring more women into key broadcast roles and deliver full gender parity in their production:

First pictures of WBD’s rooftop space for the Paris 2024 games:
up.metropol247.co.uk
The rooftop space (named the WBD House) is located at the Hotel Raphael, and overlooks the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe; the set will be used mostly for longform analysis programming. Hotel Raphael will also houses four full production studios, which will be alternately used by English, French, German, Italian, Polish and Swedish-language programming. Spanish, Finnish and Danish will have to be content with CNN-style flashcam broom cupboards (even CNN will use one of these for Olympics reporting).
Additionally, new programming will be airing in the runup to the event, including a weekly series on selected European Olympians, and an human-interest magazine, and a branded content production done in collaboration with Red Bull Media House/ServusTV. Eurosport will also repeat its Thierry Henry two-hour documentary in the run-up. These documentaries will be available on discovery+ and will eventually be rolled into Max for selected territories (initially in the Nordics, Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Central and Eastern Europe, later in Poland and France, plus the relaunch of HBO Max in the Netherlands and its expansion to Belgium) when it launches May 21.
Further programming involves strong cross-brand synergies with other WBD properties, including Looney Tunes characters, where Bugs Bunny will lead a series of filler segments, Sports Made Simple, oriented to children; this expands an Olympic-themed licensed product offering jointly done by the IOC, WBD and select NOCs. Additionally, Eurosport’s Olympic microsite has been rolled out from today.

I would assume there is glass in those window spaces, otherwise it could get quite breezy, let alone wet if it rains.

Of course he was not involved in 2021 either, so not a massive surprise. Pity he won't be reunited with John Inverdale, as I think they were days away from Redgrave totally losing it with him in 2016.
With Katherine Granger also Chair of UK Sport, I'd rather she wasn't a pundit. In 2021, it was awkward at best when she couldn't really answer why the second best funded sport underperformed.

Interview in the Telegraph confirms Clare Balding will be working once again on the Paralympics for Channel 4 as well as Olympics for the BBC.
20-04-2024, 09:21 PM
No surprise though hope Lee McKenzie leads the athletics again.
20-04-2024, 11:13 PM
No surprise that Clare will be presenting once again
It'll be interesting to see where she ends up in the schedule this year, given the highlights won't be prime time and so they'll probably go to someone else. What slot did she do during the Birmingham commonwealths a few years ago?
