The International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) executive board has backed the idea of setting up an Olympic television channel.
The plan was finalised during a two-day meeting in Montreux, Switzerland as part of broader ‘Olympic Agenda 2020’ proposals that will be put to a vote for the full IOC membership in Monaco from December 8-9.
The IOC says the channel would promote Olympic sports in the years between the games and help connect the games with younger people.
The IOC will undertake a feasibility study on the costs before a final decision.
However, IOC president Thomas Bach refused to confirm reports that the channel could launch as early as next year.
