TORONTO – With the London 2012 Olympic Games just four months away, Canada's Olympic broadcast media consortium has added more broadcast talent to its roster.
Olympians Donovan Bailey, Curt Harnett, and Kara Lang, along with veteran sportscasters Jamie Campbell, Gerry Dobson, and Vic Rauter, have been added to the team analyzing and calling the Games on the English-language consortium platforms. On the French-language side, Hélène Pelletier, Yvan Ponton, Jean Gounelle, Patrick Leduc, Michel Fervac-Larose, and Alain Usereau have been added to the broadcast lineup.
The consortium also announced that it will once again build awareness for Canadian athletes participating at London 2012 with two, branded highlight series that will air on multiple platforms including CTV, TSN, RDS, Sportsnet, OMNI and V. Starting April 2, Olympic Alerts will focus on athlete performance results in the lead-up to the Games, while the Road to London weekly series focuses on in-depth athlete profiles.
The London 2012 Games will take place July 27 to August 12, 2012.
