COMMUNITY groups, sports and social clubs in the Wellington area are being urged to check they are correctly licensed to show television coverage from the Olympics in Rio.

BBC One’s coverage kicks off featuring the opening ceremony on Friday, with live action each day from 1pm to 4am until the closing ceremony on August 21.

On BBC Four, live action will be available every day from 1pm to 4am.

TV Licensing has produced a Guide for Community Groups, which answers common questions asked by groups and includes information about holding one-off live viewing events and refunds.

Community groups can view or download the ‘Guide for Community Groups’ at http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/business-and-organisations/clubs-and-community-groups-aud10
