OSN to bring live Sochi Olympics in HD

OSN will telecast live sporting action from Sochi Winter Olympics to audiences across the Middle East and North Africa.

The telecast will be carried over four channels – OSN Sports 1 HD, OSN Sports 2 HD, OSN Sports 3 and OSN Sports 4. OSN viewers can enjoy the games in full high definition 1080i with Dolby Digital surround sound providing the best possible viewing experience.

The highly anticipated tournament that features athletes from 95 countries competing in 15 different sports, will also be available to watch anytime, anywhere on OSN Play, the region’s first online viewing platform. OSN Play, which is offered at no additional cost to OSN customers, is designed to ensure viewers don’t miss a single minute of the action, even when they are away from their TV screen.

Andy Warkman, Vice President Sports and Production, OSN, said: “OSN was the official broadcast partner of the London 2012 Olympics and the Paralymic games and we are extremely proud to be bringing unprecedented coverage of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics to every OSN home in the Middle East and North Africa.

”OSN is committed to bringing our viewers big sporting events and they don’t come any bigger than the Olympic Games. Our coverage will put our viewers right at the heart of the action, and they will have the choice to watch at home in stunning HD or watch when they want through OSN Play.”

OSN has truly underlined its differentials in the pay-TV industry, bringing audiences a wealth of sports entertainment from cricket to golf, rugby, WWE and American football to name a few.

The network continues to enhance its sport portfolio, underscored through the recent launch of OSN Fight Network HD, the region’s first dedicated combat sports channel, covering martial arts, boxing, kickboxing and professional wrestling; and OSN Sports Cricket HD, which guarantees the best in domestic, international, and Indian cricket.
