MediaCorp to show Paralympics in Singapore

Singaporean media company Mediacorp has struck a late rights deal for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.

Coverage will be shown on Mediacorp’s sports channel, Okto, as well as Toggle, its over-the-top platform.

The deal includes live coverage of the opening and closing ceremonies and events featuring Singaporean athletes.

Mediacorp will also show two daily highlights programmes via Toggle.

Mediacorp agreed a similarly late deal for coverage of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games last month.
