IOC asks China for guarantee of live Olympic transmission
Story Highlights
The Financial Times reports that the International Olympic Committee has asked China to promise not
to delay transmissions of the Beijing games, after France raised
concerns about Chinese television’s censoring of Tibet protests at the
torch-lighting ceremony in Greece this week. French TV executives
have asked the European Broadcasting Union to extract guarantees from
Beijing that transmissions will be live and uninterrupted even if
protests take place.
