Get ready for a tech jam! On Monday (Nov 17, 2025), CMG's "China Red" ultra-high-definition 4K/8K broadcast fleet left Beijing in the Chinese mainland, bound for Milan's San Siro Stadium this coming January 13, 2026, to cover the Winter Olympics.
These rolling studios are beasts: 17 meters long and 5.8 meters wide when expanded, packing 34 workstations across five functional zones. Their switching consoles can juggle 80 channels of 4K signal sources simultaneously 🎥✨
As the official rights-holding broadcaster for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics—and the only media org producing the 8K international public broadcast signal—CMG is dialing up the excitement. For the first time at a Winter Olympics, CMG will produce 8K international public broadcast signals for short track speed skating and figure skating ⛸️🏂
In Milan, CMG has reserved a 1,700-square-meter workspace at the International Broadcasting Center, plus a 223-square-meter Central Technical Area equipment room. Three studio systems are set up to cover all core functions, ensuring a seamless live experience from start to finish 🎉
Stay tuned as CMG's "China Red" fleet brings next-gen ultra-HD magic to the slopes and rinks this winter! ❄️🏔️
