When the best of T&T’s ath­letes take to the field for the Olympic Games this Ju­ly in Tokyo, Japan, T&T fans here back home will be able to fol­low their quest to the top of the podi­um on CNC3 and all of its plat­forms.

Guardian Me­dia has ac­quired the ex­clu­sive broad­cast rights for the 2020 Olympic Games in T&T through Sports­Max par­ent com­pa­ny In­ter­na­tion­al Me­dia Con­tent Ltd (IMC).

CNC3 will broad­cast more Olympic Games con­tent than ever be­fore, as IMC will pro­vide con­tent from all the dis­ci­plines over the 17 days of the Games. The pub­lic will be able to keep abreast of the biggest sport­ing event on earth be­tween Ju­ly 24 to Au­gust 9 on all me­dia plat­forms, in­clud­ing free-to-air tele­vi­sion, ca­ble TV, in­ter­net and mo­bile.

In fact, the long sum­mer of sports on CNC3 will stretch in­to the 2020 Caribbean Pre­mier League from Au­gust 19 to Sep­tem­ber 26. CNC3 al­so ex­clu­sive­ly broad­cast­ed the FI­FA 2018 World Cup in Rus­sia, ce­ment­ing the chan­nel as the lead­ing sports free-to-air broad­cast­er in T&T.

Fol­low­ing the sign­ing of the Olympics deal, Guardian Me­dia man­ag­ing di­rec­tor Nicholas Sab­ga stat­ed, “The Olympic Games ranks as the pre-em­i­nent event bring­ing in­ter­na­tion­al sport and cul­ture to­geth­er. T&T and the Caribbean re­gion’s ath­letes have a long and suc­cess­ful his­to­ry at the Olympic Games and we are com­mit­ted to bring­ing our au­di­ence all of the his­to­ry-mak­ing mo­ments ex­pect­ed at this Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.”

IMC pres­i­dent and chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer (CEO) Oliv­er McIn­tosh said, “This agree­ment with CNC3 con­tin­ues our strong re­la­tion­ship and is great news for T&T, guar­an­tee­ing wide cov­er­age of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.”

He added, “CNC3’s pas­sion and com­mit­ment to cov­er­age of sport is clear from its broad­cast of the FI­FA World Cup, the CPL and now the Olympic Games.”
