coverage offerings, with 1948 London Games select events covered by multiple cameras for the first time.
During this time, the Olympic broadcast provided by domestic broadcaster within the host country who do est c b oadcaste t t e ost cou t y oserved as the “host broadcaster” of the Games, although the term would not be commonly used until several years later. More than 500,000 viewers, most within a 50-mile radius of London, watched 64 hours of ,Olympics.

EBU (Europe) and all three North America broadcasters (NBC, ABC, CBS) broadcasters refused to pay and as a result, the Games were only televised in Australia.
Ol i Wi t G f 1956 (C ti d’ A )Olympic Winter Games of 1956 (Cortina d’ Ampezzo), Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI) supplied Olympic Games footage to countries in Europe via EBU land line (Eurovision), marking the first ever Olympic Games in which television i t l d t i t id th h t tpictures were relayed to viewers outside the host country.
The EBU already set up a joint production system, televising regional sports programs by creating Eurovision in 1953 which linked member organisations and created pool operations

I 1972 th H t B d t d ti t b t t k1972 Host Broadcaster
In 1972, the Host Broadcast production system began to take shape. For the first time the international signal was created for global distribution and was separate and clearly distinct from the domestic broadcast.
Separate international teamMix of internat./domestic
The German broadcasters ARD and ZDF created a separate team to produce the international signal with assistance from mobile units provided by the British (BBC), the Dutch (NOS), th A t i (ORF) th It li (RAI) d th S i (SBC)the Austrians (ORF), the Italians (RAI) and the Swiss (SBC).
The team created a production plan separate from the domestic service which incorporated elements from the d ti i t ti l i l i d ith i t t k fdomestic international signal mixed with pictures taken from its own cameras.

However, unlike previous Games, the international signal could also be supplemented by broadcasters’ g pp yindependently produced unilateral signals. Broadcasters could mix the international signal with footage supplied by their own unilateral cameras.
As a result, the broadcasters were more intimate, personal and focused around the athletes from the broadcasters’ respective home countries.
28
Olympics Broadcasting History
IOC Media Guide amended so that the Host Broadcaster did not need to come from home country. This allowed the 1992 separate Host teamsycreation of a separate team of international broadcast professionals with the sole task of producing the Host Broadcast signal for the Games.
1992 separate Host teamsMulti-tier TV, cable, satelliteExpanded sports coverage
Under new guidelines, Radio Television Olimpica (RTO ’92) was formed in 1992. RTO ’92 became the first Host Broadcaster to be part of the Olympic Organising Committee and not be part of the domestic rights holder or a consortium of international broadcaster entities. The trend toward structuring the Host Broadcaster as part of the Organising Committee continued until the new millennium.
For the first time in Olympic broadcast history, a multi-tier television structure was operated in several countries. RTO ’92 sub-licensed coverage of additional events to other cable and satellite broadcasters, expanding the total sports coverage.

IOC’s philosophy changed for 2002 Olympic Winter 2002 t dGames in Salt Lake City. IOC launched international
tender process seeking a firm or consortium to serve as the Host Broadcaster.
2002 tender processPartnering with OCOGsHost Broadcaster mature
International Sports Broadcasting (ISB), a small private organisation, was chosen to serve as the 2002 Host Broadcaster.
Separate outside bids were also required for 2004 Games and again ISB was awarded the contract. ISB then partnered with the Athens Organising Committee to form Athens Olympic Broadcasting (AOB), the Host Broadcaster for the 2004 Games. The evolution of the Host Broadcast operation was nearly complete.
30
Olympics Broadcasting History
2001 IOC change led to a more consistent, organised approach with establishment of a t H t B d t f th Ol i G H t B d t ti f dpermanent Host Broadcaster for the Olympic Games. Host Broadcaster operations performed
by a private company under direct IOC supervision. Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) was officially established in May 2001.
OBS li i t d d t ti ll b ild th H t B d t ti ft h GOBS eliminated need to continually rebuild the Host Broadcast operation after each Games (new people, equipment). From Games to Games, foundation would remain and based on proven methodology from previous Games. A more efficient, streamlined and uniform Host Broadcast operation could be achieved.
OBS obligations commenced with 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. OBS and the Organising Committee for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games (BOCOG) established Beijing Olympic Broadcasting (BOB) as Host Broadcaster for the 2008 Games. BOB was responsible for daily
ti i B iji d OBS toperations in Beijing under OBS management.
For Vancouver and London operations, OBS will manage the project from Madrid while creating on-site branch responsible for day-to-day Host Broadcast functions.
