On 8 February 2023, Nine was announced by the International Olympic Committee as the exclusive Australian Olympics broadcaster for Paris 2024, Milan-Cortina 2026, Los Angeles 2028, Winter Olympics 2030 and Brisbane 2032 in a deal worth AU$ 305 million,[3] which includes Nine's talk radio stations and Nine's newspapers (The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times and WAtoday).[4][5][6] and its subscription streaming service Stan under the Stan Sport section.[7] This comes after rivals Seven Network lost the Olympic rights in December 2022.[8][9]
