Although the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics is scheduled for next Friday, M4 Sport will begin offering exciting content to viewers from Wednesday. Public media is preparing a more detailed programme for the summer games than ever before.
‘We prepare intensively for every Olympic Games, but the Paris Olympics will have even greater significance due to the matching time zone,’ said Dávid Székely, the channel director of M4 Sport.
‘Not a day has gone by in the past three years without the Olympics being a topic. Our goal is to showcase everything important to Hungarian fans, including our compatriots’ performances, interviews, and hopefully many medal ceremonies. This year, we aim to present the Olympics of the Hungarians to Hungarians, complemented by events where we are not directly involved but which attract significant interest,’
he added, according to a statement from MTVA’s Press and Marketing Office.
M4 Sport will start broadcasting the Olympics next Wednesday afternoon, covering the first matches of the football tournament, with the women’s handball team joining in the following day.
From next Saturday, M4 Sport+ will also join the broadcast, allowing Hungarians to support their athletes across multiple channels.
Additionally, the events can be followed live on five digital channels on m4sport.hu, covering content not fully featured on the two main channels. These can be viewed for free without registration and will mainly focus on handball and the men’s basketball tournaments alongside the Hungarian competitors.
Kossuth Radio will once again broadcast the competitions involving Hungarian athletes live. Furthermore, the National Sports Radio, as the official media partner of the Hungarian Paralympic team, will continuously report on the Paralympic Games, which will be held in the French capital from 28 August to 8 September, with an expected participation of 40–45 Hungarian Paralympians.
Nemzeti Sport has been providing first-hand reports from the site since the Paris Olympics in 1924 and has done so ever since. This year, they will continuously inform their readers about everything happening in the French capital through their online platforms.
‘We are preparing for sports fans with a strong on-site team, sports experts, extensive coverage, and exclusive interviews,’ said György Szöllősi, editor-in-chief of the sports daily and chairman of the MTVA Sports Coordination Editorial Board.
The websites m4sport.hu and nemzetisport.hu, as well as their social media platforms, will offer sports fans numerous behind-the-scenes content and summaries involving Hungarian interests, all free of charge.
