Due to the International Olympic Committee's strict restrictions on the telecast of Olympic events, China Central Television's telecast rights are only allowed on the Chinese mainland.

Therefore, all CCTV International channels - CCTV4, CCTV9, CCTV-F, CCTV-E, will not broadcast the opening and closing ceremony and all the events of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

During this period, CCTV International will broadcast a series of news, features, interview and entertainment programs on the Olympics based on strict observance of copyright rules. Please stay tuned.
