Which channels will broadcast the Olympics?
In France, domestic rights to the Olympics are owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (formerly Discovery Inc.) via Eurosport, with free-to-air coverage sub-licensed to the country's public broadcaster France Televisions.
The games were due to be broadcast in Russia and Belarus, but due to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, the broadcasters in those regions failed to hang on to their rights.
