Canada’s Olympic Broadcasting Consortium’s English and French Broadcasting Team

Even though I’m based in the US, I always keep track of what’s going on in Canada and with the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and CTV doing its first Olympiad since 1994, I’m quite interested in what’s going on with our great neighbor to the North. So, CTV/TSN/Rogers Sportsnet has released its final talent roster for the Olympics. I’ve posted both the English and French broadcasting teams. There are some familiar names like Jaime Sale and David Pelletier who did work for NBC in Turin. They’ll be the main analysts for figure skating. There’s Pierre McGuire who will do the bulk of his work for ice hockey for the Canadian Broadcasting Consortium. Former speed skating Catriona Le May Doan gets a major role with CTV/TSN/Rogers as a host during the Opening Ceremony and analyst in her sport.

Here’s the list.

If you’re going to be in Canada or live in a border town that picks up CTV/TSN and Rogers, you can go to the Viewer’s Guide to see which network will cover which sport. I’m hoping to be able to pick up some Canadian coverage during the Olympics as a comparison to NBC’s style.
