Viacom18, the official broadcast and digital partner for Paris 2024, is set to provide an unparalleled viewing experience for the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games. The coverage will feature a dedicated camera feed on the Team India boat as it floats down the Seine, offering viewers intimate access to the Indian contingent’s journey through Paris. This innovative approach includes real-time reactions, quotes, and footage from Indian athletes.
Presented in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, the coverage will be accessible to a broad audience across India. Viacom18’s studios will feature former champions, including Anju Bobby George, India’s first athletics World Championship medalist and two-time Olympian.
For the first time, Indian viewers can enjoy 20 concurrent feeds on Jio Cinema for free, including 17 sports-specific feeds and three curated options in 4K quality. The curated feeds will highlight Indian athletes, women Olympians, and the best global performances.
On linear platforms, Sports18 channels will broadcast the Games with language options. Sponsors include SBI, JSW Group, ThumsUp, Herbalife, and others.
Viacom18’s coverage begins on July 26 at 9 PM, live on Jio Cinema, Sports18 Network, Colors Network, VH1, and MTV, offering fans an extensive and immersive Olympic experience.
