TORONTO – Sportsnet’s Connected is packing its bags – and studio desk – for the UK to bring Canadians live coverage from downtown London during the 2012 Olympic Games.
Ken Reid will host a live two-hour edition of Connected every night at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT starting July 28, accompanied by reporter Ian Mendes who will also file daily reports and features from London.
Connected on location at London 2012 complements Sportsnet’s 252.5 hours of live event coverage as part of Canada’s Olympic broadcast media consortium. Other Rogers media properties that are official London 2012 broadcasters within the consortium are OMNI Television (103 hours of event coverage), OLN (170 hours of event coverage), and Rogers Radio, which will air a daily hour-long highlights show, updates three times an hour every day during the Games, and dedicated London 2012 coverage during Prime Time Sports with Bob McCown from 6 to 7 p.m. ET each day.
