NNF TV Viewership Grows Around the World, Helping to Fund U.S. Nordic Development

February 2 — In the first three days of competition, the National Nordic Foundation’s (NNF) broadcast of the USANA FIS Nordic Junior & U23 World Championships has generated nearly 2,000 unique views from around the world; and that number is growing. With live coverage and on-demand replays of all cross-country, ski jumping and nordic combined events through their web channel, NNF TV, the NNF will use proceeds generated by the video coverage to support athletic funding for developing U.S. nordic athletes.

Viewership in Norway and Sweden top the list, at 462 and 389 respectively. Fans from the U.S. are in third place in overall global viewership with 193.

With American athletes showing nearly unprecedented results every day on their home turf, the last four days of the Championships are sure to be exciting for fans across the U.S.; and now it’s possible to support American athletes and cheer them on at the same time! Pay-per-view access for live viewing and on-demand replays of every event is at www.nnf.ski/tv.

In producing live coverage of the World Junior/U23 Championships, the NNF is not only pleased to provide the global skiing community with access to high-level international competition, interviews, and skier education but also to raise funds for nordic athletes across the United States. Live access to each event will be available for $4.95 or all events for $49.95. By offering this pay-per-view model worldwide, the NNF aims to generate funding that will support future athletic programming.

“This is a unique and exciting opportunity,” said Hennie Kashiwa, Executive Director of the NNF. “Not only are we able provide a service to the community and support the event’s organizing committee, but this is a chance to find new revenue that can go right back to our athletes. Tell your friends about it; this is going to be great.”
