TORONTO – The CBC will be the Olympic broadcast rightsholder in Canada through 2032.

The IOC said the public broadcaster has secured the exclusive domestic rights for the 2026 Milan Winter Games, the Los Angeles Summer Games in 2028, the 2030 Winter Games and the 2032 Brisbane Summer Games.

“The Olympics are the culmination of so many athletes’ dreams,” CBC/Radio-Canada president and CEO Catherine Tait said Wednesday in a release. “As Canada’s public broadcaster, we’re proud to share their journey, from local competitions across the country all the way through to national and world championships throughout the year.

“It’s an honour to be able to continue sharing these great stories with Canadians for years to come.”

The CBC already had the rights to the 2024 Summer Games in Paris. The host for the 2030 Winter Games has yet to be determined.

Financial terms of the agreement, which includes the rights across all media platforms, were not released.

The agreement includes a commitment to broadcast at least 200 hours of the Summer Games and 100 hours of the Winter Games on free-to-air television.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 6, 2022.

Ashley Cain-Gribble and Timothy LeDuc have been added to the U.S. team for the World Figure Skating Championships, replacing Jessica Calalang and Brian Johnson.

Calalang and Johnson have withdrawn from the competition for personal reasons unrelated to COVID-19.

Cain-Gribble and LeDuc earned the bronze medal at nationals in January. After winning the U.S. pairs title in 2019, they finished ninth at worlds, earning the United States two pairs entries at the next world championships. That event was cancelled last March due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

American champions Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier also will represent the United States at worlds in Stockholm from March 22-28.

Don’t let pyjama jibes sour your bedtime bond

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I got married in August and my new husband just bought himself old-man striped flannel pyjamas to wear to bed now that it’s getting colder out. He didn’t do this before we were married. What a turn-off. Should I buy him a nightcap as well?

He used to be a sexy guy who just dumped his clothes on the chair beside the bed and jumped in naked.

But last night I watched him come out of the bathroom in a ratty old robe. I thought, “He looks like my grandfather, not my husband.”

I called out sarcastically, “Hey, gramps, are you lost?” and he said, “Not anymore.” Then he walked into the spare bedroom and slept there all night without me. Help.

Moon alert: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions until 1 p.m. After that, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Gemini.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A busy, chatty day. Your communication skills are excellent. Wait until the moon alert is over to commit to any important decisions or ideas. Tap into your creative talents. It’s also a lovely day to schmooze and enjoy sports and kids’ activities.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Scare up some social reconnection this fall

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I’m an emotional mess. My lesbian girlfriend and I broke up in August, and now I hold the lease on the apartment we shared. It’s a great big old place with two spacious balconies.

I just got new roommates — two younger friends who really love it here — but secretly I’m still feeling lonely. Every minute of living here reminds me of my girlfriend because we decorated the place together and hung out on the balconies to sunbathe in the summer.

Would it help to move out of my beloved old block with its memory triggers? Maybe, but what if I died of loneliness in a new place? I need people around me, and no one but my ex-girlfriend has really been the right person. Please help. I feel sick about this.
