The International Olympic Committee’s Olympic Channel has signed partnerships with three more international federations through agreements with the governing bodies of handball, roller sports and skateboarding, and boules sport.
The agreements with the International Handball Federation, International Roller Sports Federation (FIRS), which is to rebrand as World Skate; and the World Confederation of Boules Sports (CMSB) bring the number of partners who have announced similar agreements with the Olympic Channel to 57.
The three IFs will collaborate on content for the multi-platform Olympic Channel, which launched last year following the summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
In addition to live event streaming, the Olympic Channel works with its federation partners to present event coverage, highlights, magazine shows, news coverage and original programming providing an additional platform to distribute content that is complementary to current broadcast and distribution arrangements.
