“A spokesperson for CBC-TV has acknowledged to The Canadian Press that an error caused CBC News Network to broadcast about 45 minutes of Olympic footage.
“It was a technical issue,” CBC spokesperson Chris Ball said in a telephone interview.
CTV and Rogers Media paid US$93 million for the rights to broadcast the Vancouver Games.
“Our Olympic Games coverage is so great and extensive, even the CBC wants it,” said Bonnie Brownlee, senior vice-president of corporate communications for CTVglobemedia.”
