As in had-its-lisence-revoked-by-Ofcom-for-being-state-media China Media Group?
Edit: Thought I'd be a bit more constructive with this post! Who has had comparable contracts in the past?
I somehow still have this list I copied from the site's predecessors buried in the notes archive on my phone from the 2016 Games.

Obviously there's been quite a bit of change to the make-up of who are the broadcast partners across Europe since 2016, so 2024 could have a quite different list to the above.
PS I also have archived a similar list from the blue place for the 2018 Winter Games.
