Olympic Games is one of the sports events that generates highest viewership around the world. DirecTV customers can view 10,000 plus athletes in Rio de Janeiro for the first Olympics that is held in Brazil. The event will commence on August 5 and will end on August 21.

“We will provide our clients with an interactive mosaic with 8 different signals dedicated to the Rio 2016 Olympics so that they can enjoy the most important competitions and follow their favorite athletes,” says Jose Platao Rocha, Programming Vice president, DIRECTV Latin America. “Our production studio will be located facing the Olympic park, from where our programming will be broadcasted,” Rocha added.

Olympic Coverage

This is the first time that DirecTV is covering an event of such a magnitude. DirecTV Sports team will set up a base in Brazil to cover the entire event.
