Welcome to the Whistler Media House

Tourism Whistler welcomes you to the Whistler Media House (WMH). As of March 1, 2010 WMH is now closed. During the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, WMH operated as a full service broadcasting facility, offering secure and fully-wired networking and operating space. WMH provided broadcast transmission, editing and tech support - as well as bookable stand-up locations throughout Whistler Village. In addition to facilitating interviews with athletes, dignitaries and contacts for Whistler-related stories, WMH provided access to resources including Tourism Whistler's extensive library of images and b-roll. 

Tourism Whistler will continue to provide video and images over the coming weeks, capturing the action of the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games.
