MTVA concludes ‘historic’ broadcast agreement for Olympics until 2032
Hungary's public media services and support fund MTVA has concluded a "historic" agreement for the public media to broadcast all summer and winter Olympic Games between 2026 and 2032, Daniel Papp, MTVA's chief executive, announced on Monday.
MTVA had earlier won the exclusive right to broadcast the 2024 Paris Olympics, Papp said.
He called it an important achievement that under the agreement concluded with the Hungarian Olympic Committee (MBO) viewers with cable subscriptions will be able to tune in for the entire Games on MTVA’s sports channels.
“With the Paris Games and the consecutive four Olympics, our objective, besides presenting the world’s star athletes and most popular events the Olympics, is to show Hungarians to the Hungarian people…” Papp said. “Sport is part of universal and Hungarian history, which in an ideal world serves as one of the most important tools for building national identity and pride,” he said.
