The Seven Network’s Ryan Stokes has indicated that the network is keen to take back the Olympic rights for the 2016 Summer Olympics after losing the rights of the 2010 and 2012 Olympics to Nine and Foxtel.
However, it also looks like that they would need to go to Foxtel to help get the bid, or another pay-TV group. This sounds like the AFL again.
Seven currently has partnered with SBS, who will be broadcasting several events that Seven will not broadcast - while other programming will go to Yahoo!7.
