I found the CBC link below on the cbc website. It seems there are few people on site, just a few key people for interviews with athletes after their sport. I follow Devin Heroux on bluesky and he posts a lot from Italy. Perhaps some of the commentators are on-site, but the article doesn't clarify this. Guess it all makes sense when the OBS provides gazillions of video and audio feeds at sub-second latency.
I also found this other link that speaks of the IP tech and how the whole OBS has become quite an IT project :) Inside the 2026 Milano Cortina IBC: How Tech Makes a Difference for Rightsholders, Fans, the Environment – Sports Video Group <https://www.sportsvideo.org/2026/02/05/inside-the-2026-milano-cortina-ibc-how-tech-makes-a-difference-for-rightsholders-fans-the-environment/> CBC Olympics Winter Games Broadcast Team | CBC Media Centre <https://mediacentre.cbc.ca/announcement/5604/cbc-olympics-winter-games-broadcast-team/> REPORTERS ON THE GROUND Antoine Deshaies (Moguls/Aerials) Antoni Nerestant (Freestyle Skiing/Snowboard SS, BA, HP, Ski Cross, PGS) Bryan Mudryk (Curling) Devin Heroux (Figure skating, Short Track) Guillaume Piedboeuf (Ski jumping/Cross-Country) Kelly VanderBeek (Alpine - Men) Olivier Pellerin (Alpine - Women, Biathalon) Omar Dabaghi-Pacheco (Long Track) Rob Pizzo (Skeleton/Bobsleigh/Luge) I'll have to assume all these follwing play by play commentators are cooped up in Toronto soundbooths......
