Whether you were here in the Nantahala Gorge for last year’s 2013 Freestyle Kayaking World Championships, or tuned in for the live streaming, you could not miss the cool drone circling above the freestyle wave… particularly during the evening semi-final event. Coming out of that is a broadcast production that begins a month-long national television run this week.
The hour-long broadcast will feature footage of the Nantahala Gorge, Swain County and exciting competition footage and interviews with some of the event’s top kayakers. The broadcast has the potential to expose millions to freestyle kayaking and to the compelling natural resources the North Carolina Smokies and Swain County.
Fox Sports Net National will carry the event on 14 regional sports networks and additional affiliate networks, reaching 100 million TV households in the first run and a cumulative total of more than 450 million TV households including repeat airings.
Broadcast schedules of the 2013 ICF Canoe Freestyle World Championships vary according to regional sports network coverage areas, so viewers should check local listings. After the event’s initial run on Fox Sports Net National the event will enter syndication on regional television broadcasts.
