Olympic Broadcasting Services

Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) was created by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 2001 in order to serve as the Host Broadcasting organisation for all Olympic Games. As Host Broadcaster, OBS is responsible for delivering the pictures and sounds of the Olympic Games to billions of viewers around the world. It produces and transmits unbiased live radio and television coverage of every sport from every venue, as well as content and data specifically designed for digital and social media delivery. OBS has developed a consistent approach across all Olympic operations while at the same time optimising resources to continually improve the efficiency of the Host Broadcast operation. OBS does so to ensure that the Games' Rights Holding Broadcasters (RHBs) are satisfied with the overall production of the Olympic Games and that the impact of the broadcast footprint on the host city is as minimal as possible.
