The London 2012 Olympic Games - the biggest single broadcast event in the BBC's history - is now just eight months away.
With today's launch of the BBC's Olympic-related programming, surrounding the Cultural Olympiad and the London 2012 Festival, and the news that Elbow will be providing the official music for the BBC's Olympic coverage, perhaps now is the time to start a thread dedicated to all things London 2012 on the BBC.
Discussion of Olympic sporting and cultural programming, the BBC's preparations for the Games themselves, or whatever else takes your fancy, during the countdown to 27th July 2012.
To start, a reminder of what's been announced today, through the following links:
BBC Media Centre: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/cultural-olympiad.html (including a 5-minute film narrated by Kirsty Wark detailing upcoming cultural programming, and a link to the Media Pack, including a quite fetching new 'BBC - The Olympic Broadcaster' logo.
Roger Mosey's always informative blog: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/rogermosey/2011/11/bbc_launches_2012_culture_cont.html
Mr Mosey also mentioned in a recent blog that details of the BBC's on-screen talent and programming for the Games themselves would be released in coming weeks.
London 2012 will be much more than just sport, so I thought it would be better to have a separate thread to encompass the wider Olympic theme.
