Established in 2007, Canada's Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium (legal name 7048467 Canada Inc., also sometimes referred to informally as CTV Olympics) is a joint venture set up by Canadian media companies Bell Media (formerly CTVglobemedia) and Rogers Media to produce the Canadian broadcasts of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and the London 2012 Olympics Games. Bell owns 80% of the joint venture, and Rogers owns 20%.


The consortium encompasses many of the properties owned by both companies, including Bell Media's CTV Television Network, TSN The Sports Network, RDS Réseau des Sports and RIS Réseau Info-Sports, and Rogers Media's Omni Television, Rogers Sportsnet, OLN, and the Rogers radio stations group. Several other broadcasters will also carry consortium coverage, including V (formerly TQS), and several channels owned by Asian Television Network. Finally, dedicated websites in English and French (ctvolympics.ca and rdsolympiques.ca) have been set up to stream live coverage over the Internet to Canadian viewers.

The consortium replaces CBC Sports, which had held the Canadian rights to all Olympics beginning with the 1996 games, although some cable rights had been sub-licensed to TSN / RDS beginning in 1998.

Rogers announced in September 2011 that it would withdraw from the consortium following London 2012, and therefore not participate in its bid for rights to the 2014 Winter Olympics and 2016 Summer Olympics. The company cited scheduling conflicts and financial considerations for the decision. Bell Media then announced a new partnership with the CBC to bid for Canadian broadcast rights of Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016. Broadcast details for the joint bid are yet to be released. With Rogers reportedly prohibited from bidding on its own or with another partner, the joint Bell/CBC bid is now considered the prohibitive favourite to win the rights when the International Olympic Committee accepts bids in late 2011 or early 2012.
