Fox Turkey Scores Olympic Rights

LAUSANNE, October 28: The International Olympic Committee (IOC)
has awarded the broadcast rights for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games and
the 2016 Summer Olympic Games to Fox Turkey.

Fox has secured the broadcast rights across all platforms,
including free to air, pay TV, Internet and mobile. "Fox Turkey presented
a comprehensive package that will allow not only the broadest coverage of the
Olympic Games but also the promotion of Olympic sports
and Olympic values beyond the 16 days of competition,” said Jacques Rogge, the
president of the IOC. “We look forward to building a strong working
relationship with Fox Turkey ahead of the Winter Games in Sochi in 2014.”

IOC’s VP, Thomas Bach, called Fox Turkey “one of the most
progressive and innovative Turkish broadcasters,” which has become
“increasingly popular amongst younger audiences.”

Dave Reid, the general manager of Fox Turkey, added: “This is an
historic development for our company. We are excited and proud that the IOC has
selected Fox as its broadcast partner for Turkey in 2014 and 2016. The Olympic Games will be our company’s most important project and we
are committed to delivering a world-class multimedia event.”
