The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) today announced the shortlist of candidates to create a state-of-the-art media centre in the Olympic Park.
The International Broadcast Centre and Main Press Centre (IBC/MPC) will provide a 24-hour service to the 20,000 accredited journalists, broadcasters, photographers and wire services covering the London 2012 Games.
