TORONTO and CALGARY – CBC Sports will continue to be the home of championship show jumping competitions through the 2020 season thanks to a renewal of the network’s agreement with renowned Calgary equestrian event venue Spruce Meadows.
The renewed agreement will see CBC Sports continue to offer coverage of Spruce Meadows-hosted events, including ‘The National,’ ‘The North American,’ and ‘The Masters’ – part of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping – over the next three years. In addition, CBC Sports will continue to provide broadcast and live-streaming coverage of the three other events from the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping – CHIO Aachen, CHI Geneva and The Dutch Masters.
“CBC Sports has been a broadcast partner with Spruce Meadows for 25 years and we look forward to continuing to share world-class equestrian events with our audiences for another three years,” said CBC Sports executive director and Olympics general manager Greg Stremlaw, in Monday’s announcement. “Canada is consistently among the world leaders in show jumping and we are proud to continue to tell the story of our homegrown athletes and the international stars with whom they compete.”
