Various Nine programs includingToday,Mornings,Millionaire Hot Seat,The Footy Show,60 Minutes andAustralia's Funniest Home Videos went on hiatus during Nine's broadcast of the 2012 London Olympics. A daily highlights packageLondon Gold aired at 9am weekdays following the live overnight coverage.
Nine's staff and commentators for the2024 Summer Olympics were announced on 1 July 2024.[10] The full list was announced on 25 July 2024,[11] which includes:
Nine, in conjunction with pay television provider Foxtel, had secured rights to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said yesterday. The coup - understood to be costing $US100 million ($110million) - is a major blow for Seven, which has had a stranglehold on Olympic broadcasting since 1992.
International Olympic Committee officials visited Australia earlier this year and are set to finalise an agreement for the rights in the coming weeks. Nine offered more than $300 million for the next three summer games and the winter events during that period - a figure significantly above Seven, according to sources familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because negotiations are confidential.
