Utah's Official Television and Radio Station for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games
|
KSL Television (Channel 5) and Radio (1160 AM) are designated as Utah's television and radio stations for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, providing air time and production services. KSL has access to Salt Lake 2002
Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games marks, designations, symbols and imagery for use in conjunction with business activities.
KSL Television is proud to offer the kind of support that will help Utah host an outstanding Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2002. As an affiliate of NBC, KSL already has rights to carry the network's exclusive Olympic coverage. But in this role, KSL Television now has the opportunity to enhance the community's Olympic experience.
KSL Television has a long history of service to the community. KSL's affiliation with the 2002 Games extends that tradition in two major ways. KSL is offering financial support to help make the Games possible on the level that will make every Utahn proud. The station is also dedicated to providing an unrivaled quality of local coverage to this worldwide sporting event, making every Utahn an "Eyewitness to the Games."
"We are excited to have a broadcast partner with the caliber of KSL Television offering its support of the 2002 Games," said SLOC President and CEO Mitt Romney when KSL agreed to become a supplier. "Channel 5 has been an icon in this community for decades, and we are confident that KSL's coverage will add substantially to Utahns' enjoyment of the Games. If someone is not watching the events in person, then the best seat in the house is certainly through KSL Television."
In the United States, the 2002 Olympic Winter Games will be broadcast by NBC Television, which signed a historic contract in August 1995, when it became "America's Olympic Network" and bought the rights to televise the Games from 1998-2008, including the Salt Lake Games for a record $545 million.
