Canada?s Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium president Adam Ashton said, "We are committed to bringing Canadians a robust Olympic Games experience, whether on television or digital platforms.

In addition, 10 Rogers Radio stations will provide listeners with Olympic Games coverage, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, a daily hour-long highlights show, and updates three times an hour everyday during the Games.
