CBC/Radio-Canada announced Thursday a slate of Olympic-themed content to run across multiple platforms for the Paris 2024 games, starting July 26.
The public broadcaster will have a variety of exclusive digital series available on its CBC Sports social media channels, including a dedicated CBC Paris 2024 app available on Android and iOS devices.
CBC will also have the following:
Paris Tonight, hosted by Ariel Helwani, will go live form Canada Olympic House in Paris at 11 p.m. EST daily. The show will include interview segments, games, cultural experiences, and a showcase of Canadian athletes, according to a press release.
Rise and Stream, hosted by Meg Roberts, previews next-day activities, including must-watch events.
Hot Takes, hosted by Dale Manucdoc, will get into the Canadian results with CBC analysts.
Paris Pulse with Meg and Dale, hosted by Roberts and Manucdoc, will arrive daily at 1:30 pm EST to discuss trending storylines and content at midday.
Olympic Fomo, hosted by Mark Strong and Jemeni, will be available in podcast format and provide conversations with athletes, entertainers and celebrities to get their take on the games.
CBC Kids will also have Olympic-themed content, including music videos and interviews with “kid experts” about the games. CBC Kids Celebrates the Olympic Games will feature a collection of short videos and will stream on-demand starting Friday.
CBC Music will feature content including athletes sharing their favourite songs.
Available now, Tested, a six-episode podcast hosted by Rose Eveleth, answers the question, who gets to compete? It “follows the unfolding story of elite female runners who have been told they can no longer race as women, because of their biology,” according to a press release. “As the Olympics approach, they face hard choices: take drugs to lower their natural testosterone levels, give up their sport entirely, or fight. To understand how we got here, we trace the surprising, 100-year history of sex testing.”
