“We are excited to be adding CBC Gem to our distribution partners and opening up SkiTV to a new audience online,” says S-Media managing partner Mark Kristofic, in the press release. “As Canada’s Olympic broadcaster and rights holder for FIS World Cup ski programming, a partnership with CBC is a natural fit.”
“SkiTV is an established and well-respected series for fans of the sport, and will be a natural companion to weekly staple Road to the Olympic Games, providing viewers with the opportunity to learn more about the international competition venues they will see throughout the championship season,” said Chris Wilson, executive director of sports and Olympics at CBC. “This is especially relevant as we look towards the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, and Canadians look for new and engaging content about the sport.”
